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 strength again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When ransomed from the grave.
He that redeemed my soul from death
Hath sovereign power to save.
5 He fills the poor with good;
He gives the sufferers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for the opprest.
6 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known,
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His belovèd Son.
Amen. Scripture: John 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS
O Bless the Lord, My Soul!
