| Tune: | MONKLAND |
| Composer: | John Antes (1740–1811) |
1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
praise the Lord, for he is knid:
Refrain:
for his mercies still endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us blaze his name abroad,
for of gods he is the God: [Refrain]
3 He, with all-commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light: [Refrain]
4 He the golden-tressèd sun
caused all day his course to run: [Refrain]
5 And the silver moon by night
'mid her spangled sisters bright: [Refrain]
6 He his chosen race did bless
in the wasteful¹ wilderness: [Refrain]
7 All things living he doth feed,
his full hand supplies their need: [Refrain]
8 Let us, then, with gladsome mind,
praise the Lord, for he is kind: [Refrain]
