O bless the Lord, my soul!

Let all within me join,

And aid my tongue to bless his name

Whose favors are divine.

2 O bless the Lord, my soul!

Nor let his mercies lie

Forgotten in unthankfulness,

And without praises die.

3 ’Tis he forgives thy sins;

’Tis he relieves thy pain;

’Tis he that heals thy sicknesses,

And gives thee strength again.

4 He crowns thy life with love,

When rescued from the grave;

He that redeemed our souls from death,

Hath boundless power to save.

5 He fills the poor with good;

He gives the sufferers rest:

The Lord hath justice for the proud,

And mercy for the oppressed.

6 His wondrous works and ways

He made by Moses known;

But sent the world his truth and grace

By his beloved Son.
