1 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 makes thee young again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When ransom'd from the grave;
He that redeem'd my soul from hell
Hath sov'reign pow'r to save.
5 He fills the poor with good,
He gives the suff'rers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for th' opprest.
6 His wond'rous works and ways
He made by Moses known;
But sent the world his truth and grace
By his beloved Son.
