Let us with a Gladsome Mind

Let us with a gladsome mind

Praise the Lord, for He is king,

For his mercies shall endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

All our wants He doth supply,

Loves to hear our humble cry,

For his mercies shall endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

All things living He doth feed,

His full hands supplied their need,

For his mercies shall endure

Ever faithful, ever sure.

John Milton

John Milton was a 17th century historian, journalist and poet born on December 9th, 1608 in London, England. He was best known for his writing of Paradise Lost. Milton first planned to become a priest. He studied at Cambridge University and afterwards decided to abandon this path to become a full time writer and poet. Milton became very active in politics, and often wrote political pamphlets along with his other writings. As a protestant who believed in freedom of worship, Milton was often at odds with the Roman Catholic Church, an organization strongly opposed to the protestants. Eventually, John Milton would work for the English government under Oliver Cromwell after the removal of the monarchy.
