Bless, O My Soul, the Living God
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 301 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bless, O my soul, the living God,
Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad,
Let all the pow'rs within me join
In work and worship so divine,
In work and worship so divine.
2. Bless, O my soul, the God of grace;
His favours claim thy highest praise:
Why should the wonders He hath wrought
Be lost in silence and forgot,
Be lost in silence and forgot?
3. ’Tis he, my soul, that sent His Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done;
He owns the ransom and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives,
The hourly follies of our lives.
4. The vices of the mind He heals,
And cures the pains that nature feels;
Redeems the soul from hell, and saves
Our wasting life from threat’ning graves,
Our wasting life from threat’ning graves.
5. Our youth decayed, His power repairs;
His mercy crowns our growing years:
He satisfies our mouth with good,
And fills our hopes with heav’nly food,
And fills our hopes with heav’nly food.
6. He sees th’oppressor and th’oppresst,
And often gives the suff’rers rest;
But will His justice more display
In the last great rewarding day,
In the last great rewarding day.
7. His pow'r he showed by Moses’ hands,
And gave to Israel his commands;
But sent His truth and mercy down
To all the nations by his Son,
To all the nations by his Son.
8. Let the whole earth His power confess,
Let the whole earth adore His grace;
The Gentile with the Jew shall join
In work and worship so divine,
In work and worship so divine. Topics: A Psalm; The Worship of God Used With Tune: PARK STREET

Wide o’er the nations soon will shine.

And Israel’s blessings are at hand.
Lo, Judah’s remnant, cleansed from sin,
Lo, Judah’s remnant, cleansed from sin,
Shall in their promised Canaan stand.

And Gentile nations turn and live.
His mighty arm is making bare,
His mighty arm is making bare
His cov’nant people to receive.

Have met, and both have record borne;
Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth,
Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth
To bring her ransomed children home. Topics: Gathering of Israel; Restoration; Restoration of the Gospel; Truth; Zion Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: HUDSON

What wonders burst upon my view!

All things appear divinely new.

Which fills our souls with joy and peace.

And bring the captive full release,
And bring the captive full release.

In darkness o’er the mountains far,
Shall now return unto their fold
And there their waiting hearts prepare,
And there their waiting hearts prepare.

In ev’ry land, in ev’ry clime,
Shall hear the word of God and live;
This is the time, the chosen time.
This is the time, the chosen time. Topics: Book of Mormon; Gathering of Israel; Restoration; Restoration of the Gospel; Revelation Languages: English Tune Title: ABRAM

John R. Sweney
1837 - 1899 Person Name: John Robson Sweney Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Composer of "LAKE TAHOE" in The Cyber Hymnal John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy.
Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker.
