We Gather Together

Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #8 (1982) First Line: We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing Lyrics: 1 We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing– He chastens and hastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing: Sing praises to His name– He forgets not His own. 2 Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining. Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So from the beginning the fight we were winning: Thou, Lord, wast at our side– the glory be Thine. 3 We all do extol Thee, Thou leader triumphant, And pray that Thou still our defender wilt be; Let Thy congregation escape tribulation: Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free! Amen. Topics: Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: [We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing]

Theodore Baker

1851 - 1934 Translator of "We Gather Together" in The Presbyterian Hymnal Theodore Baker (b. New York, NY, 1851; d. Dresden, Germany, 1934). Baker is well known as the compiler of Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (first ed. 1900), the first major music reference work that included American composers. Baker studied music in Leipzig, Germany, and wrote a dissertation on the music of the Seneca people of New York State–one of the first studies of the music of American Indians. From 1892 until his retirement in 1926, Baker was a literary editor and translator for G. Schirmer, Inc., in New York City. In 1926, he returned to Germany. Psalter Hymnal Handbook, 1987

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing" in The Hymnal 1982 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
