Representative Text

1 O my soul, bless thou Jehovah;
All within me, bless His name.
Bless Jehovah and forget not
All His mercies to proclaim.

2 He forgives all thy transgressions;
Heals thy sicknesses and pains;
He redeems thee from destruction,
And His love thy life sustains.

3 He with tender mercies crowns thee,
Satisfies thy full request,
So that, like the tireless eagle,
Thou with youth renewed art blessed.

4 Righteous is the Lord in judgment
Unto all that are oppressed;
To His people He has ever
Made His goodness manifest.
