Praise Praise Thy Name

On the desert mountain straying,
Far, far from home,
Heard I there a sweet voice, saying,
"Why wilt Thou roam?"
Refrain
'Twas my blessèd Lord that sought me,
Out of sin to grace He brought me,
Oh the glad, new song He taught me,
Praise, praise His Name.
At a throne of mercy kneeling,
Sad and oppressed,
Came that voice, to me revealing
Hope, life and rest.
Refrain
Oft I heard that voice repeating,
"I am the Way.
Tarry not, the hours are fleeting,
Come, come today."
Refrain
When from glory unto glory
My flight shall be,
Still I'll sing the precious story,
Savior, of Thee.
Refrain

We Gather Together

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.
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, were at our side, all glory be Thine!
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
