1 O my soul, bless God the Father;
All within me bless His Name;
Bless the Father, and forget not
All His mercies to proclaim:

2 Who forgiveth thy transgressions,
Thy diseases all who heals;
Who redeems thee from destruction,
Who with thee so kindly deals.

3 Far as east from west is distant,
He hath put away our sin;
Like the pity of a father
Hath the Lord's compassion been.

4 As it was without beginning,
So it lasts without an end;
To their children's children ever
Shall His righteousness extend.

5 Unto such as keep His covenant
And are steadfast in His way;
Unto those who still remember
His commandments, and obey.

6 Bless the Father, all His creatures,
Ever under His control;
All throughout His vast dominion
Bless the Father, O my soul.
