234. Let Us with a Gladsome Mind

1 Let us with a gladsome mind
praise our God forever kind;
whose great mercies still endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

2 God, with all-commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light;
for God's mercies still endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

3 God has with a gracious eye
looked upon our misery;
for God's mercies still endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

4 All things living God does feed,
with full measure meets their need;
for God's mercies still endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

5 Let us with a gladsome mind
praise our God forever kind;
whose great mercies still endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
