O My Soul, Bless God the Father

Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 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 forgives all your transgressions, your diseases all who heals; who redeems you from destruction, who with you so kindly deals. 3 Far as east from west is distant, He has put away our sin; like the pity of a father has 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.
