PSALM 136, by                    
First Line: Let us with a gladsome mind
Last Line: Ever faithful, ever sure.
Subject(s): Freedom; Religion; Liberty; Theology


Let us with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Let us blaze His name abroad,
For of gods He is the God;
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

He, with all-commanding might,
Filled the new-made world with light;
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

He His chosen race did bless
In the wasteful wilderness;
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

He hath with a piteous eye,
Looked upon our misery;
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

All things living He doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need;
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Let us therefore warble forth
His high majesty and worth;
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
