O 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 ransomed from the grave;

He that redeemed my soul from hell

Hath sovereign power 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' oppressed.

His wondrous works and ways

He made by Moses known

But sent the world his truth and grace

By his beloved Son.
