Let Us With a Gladsome Mind Lyrics

Let us, with a gladsome mind,
praise the LORD, for He is kind:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Let us blaze His name abroad,
for of gods He is the God:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Let us all His praises tell
who doth wrathful tyrants quell:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He with miracles doth make
heav’n and earth, amazed, to shake:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He by wisdom did create
starry heav’ns so full of state:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He did solid earth ordain
t’rise above the wat’ry plain:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He, with all commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He hath caused the golden sun
all day long his course to run:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He doth shine the moon at night
with her spangling sisters bright:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He with thunder-clasping hand,
smote firstborn of Egypt land:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

And in spite of Pharaoh fell,
He brought forth His Israel:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Red Sea waves He cleft in twain,
split in two the ruddy main:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Floods stood still like walls of glass,
while the Hebrew bands did pass:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

But full soon did they devour
Egypt’s king with all his pow’r:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He His chosen race did bless
in the wasteful wilderness:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He in battle has brought down
kings of prowess and renown:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Conquered Sihon and his host
of the Amorrean coast:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Large-limbed Og He did subdue
with his over-hardy crew:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

To His servant Israel,
gave their land therein to dwell:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He hath with a piteous eye
looked upon our misery:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Freed us from the slavery
of th’invading enemy:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

All things living He doth feed;
His full hand supplies their need:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

Let us therefore warble forth
His high majesty and worth:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure

He His mansion hath on high
out of reach of mortal eye:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure
