244: Let Us with a Gladsome Mind
1 Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord who is so kind:
For God's mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
2 God, with all commanding might,
Filled the new-made world with light:
For God's mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
3 All things living God does feed,
With full measure meets their need:
For God's mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
4 Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, who is so kind:
For God's mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
