Let us with a gladsome mind is a hymn written in 1623 by John Milton, a pupil at St. Paul's School,[1] at the age of 15 as a paraphrase of Psalm 136. It was set to music as the hymn tune known as Monkland by the organist John Bernard Wilkes using a melody written by John Antes.[2]
Lyrics
Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for he is kind,
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
