521. Let Us with a Gladsome Mind

1 Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for he is kind;

Refrain:
For his mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

2 He with all-commanding might
Filled the new-made world with light; [Refrain]

3 With the eye of pity, he
Looked upon our misery; [Refrain]

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