Lyics

Oh bless the Lord, my soul!

His grace to thee proclaim;

And all that is within me, join

To bless his holy name.



Oh bless the Lord, my soul!

His mercies bear in mind,

Forget not all his benefits;

The Lord to thee is kind.



He will not always chide;

He will with patience wait;

His wrath is ever slow to rise,

And ready to abate.



He pardons all thy sins,

Prolongs thy feeble breath:

He healeth thine infirmities,

And ransoms thee from death.



Then bless his holy name

Whose grace hath made thee whole,

Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days,

Oh bless the Lord, my soul!
