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,
Whose kingdom calls all to the love which endures.
So from the beginning the fight we were winning:
You, Lord, were at our side; all glory be Yours!
3 We all do extol You our leader triumphant,
And pray that You still our defender will be.
Let Your congregation escape tribulation:
Your name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free! Scripture: Psalm 67:7 Languages: English Tune Title: KREMSER
