1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
praise the Lord, for he is kind:
Refrain:
For his mercies aye endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Let us blaze 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 He his chosen race did bless
in the wasteful wilderness: [Refrain]

5 All things living he doth feed,
his full hand supplies their need: [Refrain]

6 Let us then with gladsome mind,
praise the Lord, for he is kind: [Refrain]

Versifier: John Milton

Milton, John, was born in London, Dec. 9, 1608, and died there Nov. 8, 1674. His poetical excellences and his literary fame are matters apart from hymnology, and are fully dealt with in numerous memoirs. His influence on English hymn-writing has been very slight, his 19 versions of various Psalms having lain for the most part unused by hymnal compilers. The dates of his paraphrases are:— Ps. cxiv. and cxxxvi. , 1623, when he was 15 years of ago. These were given in his Poems in English and Latin 1645.

Tune

MONKLAND

The tune MONKLAND has a fascinating if complex history. Rooted in a tune for the text "Fahre fort" in Johann A.
