1 O my soul, bless your Redeemer;
all within me bless His Name;
bless the Father and forget not
all His mercies to proclaim.

2 He forgives all your transgressions,
all diseases gently heals;
God redeems you from destruction,
and with you so kindly deals.

3 Far as east from west is distant,
He has put away our sin;
like the pity of a father
has the LORD's compassion been.

4 As it was without beginning,
so it lasts without an end;
to their children's children ever
shall His righteousness extend.

5 Unto such as keep His cov’nant
and are steadfast in His way;
unto those who still remember
the commandments and obey.

6 Bless your Maker, all you creatures,
ever under His control,
all thro'out His vast dominion;
bless the LORD of all, my soul!

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
