405. Let us, with a gladsome mind

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 All things living he doth feed;
His full hand supplies their need: [Refrain]

5 He hath, with a piteous eye,
Looked upon our misery: [Refrain]

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