Lyrics

We gath er to geth er to ask the Lord’s bless ing; He chas tens and has tens His will to make known;

The wick ed op press ing now cease

from dis tress ing, Sing prais es to His name He for gets not His own.

Be side us to guide us, our God with us join ing, Or dain ing, main tain ing His king dom di vine;

So from the be gin ning the fight

we were win ning: Thou Lord, wast at our side, He all glo ry be own.

Be Thine!

We all do ex tol Thee, Thou Lead er tri um phant, And pray that Thou still our De fend er wilt be.

Let Thy con gre ga tion es cape

trib u la tion; Thy name be ev er praised!

O Lord, make us free!

We Gather Together by Nederlandtsch Gedenckclanck — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “We Gather Together” by Nederlandtsch Gedenckclanck in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 90 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
