Hymns, Selected and Original ‎#53

53. O bless the Lord, my soul!

1 O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless his name,
Whose favours 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 gives thee strength again.

4 He crowns thy life with love,
When rescu'd from the grave;
He that redeem'd my soul from death,
Hath boundless pow'r to save.

5 He fills the poor with good;
He gives the suff'rers rest.
The Lord hath justice for the proud,
And justice for th'oppressed.

6 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known;
But sent the world his truth and grace
By his beloved Son.
