Hymnal: Christian's Duty, exhibited in a series of hymns #S17 (1825) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian's Duty, exhibited in a series of hymns 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. 2 Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favours claim thy highest praise; Why should ungrateful silence hide The blessings which his hands provide? 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. 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. 5 Our youth decay'd his pow'r repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years; He fills our store with ev'ry good, And feeds our souls with heav'nly food. 6 He sees th' oppressor and th' opprest, And often gives the suff'rer rest; But will his justice more display In the last great rewarding day.
