praise the Lord, so good and kind,
for God's mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us blaze God's name abroad;
of all gods the Lord is God.
God with all commanding might
filled the new-made world with light.
Refrain:
For God's mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
3 God has with a gracious eye
looked upon our misery;
for God's mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
4 All things living God does feed;
with full hand supplies their need.
Let us then with gladsome mind
praise the Lord, so good and kind. [Refrain]
