59: Let Us, with a Gladsome Mind
1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
praise the Lord, for he is kind:
[Refrain:]
For his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us sound his name abroad,
for of gods he is the God: (Refrain)
3 He with all-commanding might
filled the new-made world with light: (Refrain)
4 All things living he doth feed;
his full hand supplies their need: (Refrain)
5 Let us then, with gladsome mind,
praise the Lord for he is kind:(Refrain)
