Let us with a gladsome mind

Praise the Lord, for He is kind:

For His mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

Let us blaze His Name abroad,

For of gods He is the God:

For His mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

He, with all-commanding might,

Filled the new-made world with light:

For His mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

He the golden-tressed sun

Caused all day his course to run;

For His mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

And the moon to shine by night,

'Mid her spangled sisters bright:

For His mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

All things living He doth feed;

His full hand supplies their need:

For His mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

Let us therefore warble forth

His high majesty and worth:

For His mercies aye endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.
