1 Let us, with a gladsome mind, praise the Lord, for he is kind: for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us blaze his Name abroad, for of gods he is the God: for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
3 He with all-commanding might filled the new-made world with light: for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
4 He the golden-tressed sun caused all day his course to run: for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
5 The horned moon to shine by night, mid her spangled sisters bright: for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
6 All things living he doth feed, his full hand supplies their need: for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
7 Let us, with a gladsome mind, praise the Lord, for he is kind: for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure.
