Composed for “Church Hymns with Tunes”, S.P.C.K., 1874.
| 1 | Let us with a gladsome mind Praise the Lord, for He is kind: |
2 | Who by His wisdom did create The painted heavens so full of state: |
|||
| For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
|||||
| 3 | Who did the solid earth ordain To rise above the watery plain: |
4 | Who by His all-commanding might, Did fill the new-made world with light; |
|||
| For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
|||||
| 5 | And called the
golden-tressèd sun All the day long his course to run: |
6 | The hornèd moon to shine by night, Amongst her spangled sisters bright: |
|||
| For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
|||||
| 7 | All living
creatures He doth feed, And with full hand supplies their need: |
8 | Let us
therefore warble forth |
|||
| For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure. |
