LyicsBLESS God, my soul. O Lord my God,
Thou art exceeding great;
With honor and with majesty
Thou clothed art in state.
Thou to the vales dost send the springs,
Which run among the hills:
They to all beasts of field give drink,
Wild asses drink their fills.
By them the fowls of heav'n shall have
Their habitation,
Which do among the branches sing
With delectation.
He from his chambers watereth
The hills when they are dry'd:
With fruit and increase of thy works
The earth is satisfy'd.
For cattle thou mak'st grass to grow,
Thou mak'st the herb to spring
For th' use of man, that food to him
Thou from the earth may'st bring:
And wine, that to the heart of man
Doth cheerfulness impart,
Oil that his face makes shine, and bread
That strengtheneth his heart.
How manifold, Lord, are thy works!
In wisdom wonderful
Thou ev'ry one of them hast made;
Earth's of thy riches full.
