The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#123

123. Bless the Lord, O My Soul

1 In the church of the Lord,
In the house of our King,
We have gathered to worship—
To pray and to sing;
May our hearts be inspired
Our Redeemer to see,
While we all come before him
With sweet melody.

Refrain:
Bless the Lord,
Bless the Lord,
Bless the Lord,
O my soul, O my soul!
And forget not his benefits,
And forget not his benefits;
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
Bless the Lord, O my soul!

2 We are happy to-day,
As we sit at the feet
Of the blessed Redeemer
We come here to meet;
And a chorus of joy
As a tribute we bring,
With a loving devotion,
To Jesus, our King. [Refrain]
