We Gather Together

Tuesday, November 21, 2017

According to Wikipedia:

"We Gather Together" is a Christian hymn of Dutch origin written in 1597 by Adrianus Valerius. . . . It was originally set to a Dutch folk tune. In the United States, it is popularly associated with Thanksgiving Day and is often sung at family meals and at religious services on that day.

This song takes me back to junior high for some reason. And I’ll always associate it with Thanksgiving. 

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.

May this year be a time of reflection and praise for the Lord’s blessing. He loves us very much.
