Author: John Milton, 1608-74 Hymnal: Together in Song #83 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Scripture: Psalm 136:1-9 Lyrics: 1 Let us with a gladsome mind
praise the Lord, for he is kind:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us blaze his name abroad,
for of gods he is the God:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
3 He with all-commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
4 All things living he doth feed,
his full hand supplies their need:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
5 He his chosen race did bless
in the wasteful wilderness:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
6 Let us then with gladsome mind
praise the Lord, for he is kind:
for his mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Confidence; Creation; Faithfulness of God; Light; Pilgrimage; Proclamation: Witness; Providence; Sovereignty of God; Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: MONKLAND
