let God do the rest

Hi all,
I always curious why people say, 'Let God do the rest' instead of 'Let God does the rest'. Any body knows the answer?

'Let' is the inflected verb; 'do' is the infinitive. Let her help you. Make it stop.

Let + base or infinitive form of the verb is the structure for a command.
