LyicsO bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless his name,
Whose favors are divine.
O bless the Lord my soul!
Nor let his mercies lie,
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.
'Tis he forgives thy sins,
'Tis he relieves thy pain,
'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee young again.
He crowns thy life with love,,
When ransom'd from the grave;
He that redeem'd my soul from hell,
Hath sov'reign pow'r to save.
He fills the poor with good;
He gives the suff'rers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for th' opprest.
His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known;
But sent the world his truth and grace
By his beloved Son.
