Let Us with a Gladsome Mind from Psalm 136 John Milton (1608-1674)

INNOCENTS (7.7.7.7.) French

Let us with a glad-some mind
   Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
For His mer-cies shall en-dure,
   Ev-er faith-ful, ev-er sure.

Let us sound His name a-broad,
   For of gods He is the God;
For His mer-cies shall en-dure,
   Ev-er faith-ful, ev-er sure.

He with all com-mand-ing might
   Filled the new-made world with light;
For His mer-cies shall en-dure,
   Ev-er faith-ful, ev-er sure.

All things liv-ing He does feed
   His full hand sup-plies their need;
For His mer-cies shall en-dure,
   Ev-er faith-ful, ev-er sure.

He His cho-sen race did bless
   In the waste-ful wild-er-ness;
For His mer-cies shall en-dure,
   Ev-er faith-ful, ev-er sure.

He has with a pit-eous eye
   Looked up-on our mis-er-y;
For His mer-cies shall en-dure,
   Ev-er faith-ful, ev-er sure.

Let us then with glad-some mind
   Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
For His mer-cies shall en-dure,
   Ev-er faith-ful, ev-er sure.
