Benedic anima
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #57 (1640) First Line: My soule give laud unto the Lord Lyrics: 1 My soule give laud unto the Lord,
my spirit shall do the same:
And all the secrets of my heart,
praise ye his holy Name.
2 Give thanks to God for all his gifts
shew not thy selfe unkind:
And suffer not his benefits
to slip out of thy mind.
3 That gave thee pardon for thy faults,
and thee restor'd againe:
From all thy weak and fraile disease,
and heal'd thee of thy paine.
4 That did redeeme thy life from death
from which thou couldst not flee:
His mercy and compassion both
he did extend to thee.
5 That fil'd with goodnesse thy desire,
and did prolong thy youth:
Like as the Eagle casts her bill,
whereby her age renew'th.
6 The Lord with justice doth repay
all such as are opprest:
So that their sufferings and wrongs
Are turned to the best.
7 His waies and his commandements
to Moses he did show:
His counsels and his valiant acts
the Israelites did know.
8 The Lord is kind and mercifull,
when sinners do him grieve:
The slowest to conceive a wrath,
and readiest to forgive.
9 He chides us not continually,
though we be full of strife:
Nor keep our faults in memory,
for all our sinfull life.
10 Nor yet according to our sins
The Lord doth us regard:
Nor after our iniquities
he doth us not reward.
11 But as the space is wondrous great
'twixt earth and heaven above:
So is his goodnesse much more large
to them that do him love.
12 God doth remove our sins from us,
and our offences all:
As farre as is the Sun-rising
full distant from his fall.
The second Part:
13 And look what pitie parents deare
unto their children beare:
Like pitie beareth God to such
as worship him in feare.
14 The Lord that made us knows our shape,
our mold and fashion just:
How weake and fraile our nature is,
and that we are but dust.
15 And now the time of mortall men
is like the withering hay:
Or like the flower right faire in field,
that fades full soon away.
16 Whose glosse and beauty stormy winds
do utterly disgrace:
And make that after their assaults
such blossomes have no place.
17 But yet the goodnesse of the Lord
with his shall everstand:
Their childrens children shall receive
his righteousnesse at hand.
18 I meane which keep his covenant
with all their whole desire:
And not forget to do the thing
that he doth them require.
19 The heavens high are made the seat
and foot-stoole of the Lord:
And by his power imperiall
he governs all the world.
20 Ye Angels which are great in power,
praise ye and blesse the Lord:
Which to obey and do his will,
immediately accord.
21 Ye noble hosts and Ministers,
cease not to laud him still:
Which ready are to execute
his pleasure and his will.
22 Yea all his works in every place,
praise ye his holy Name:
My heart, my mind and eke my soule
praise ye also the same. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: [My soule give laud unto the Lord]
Benedic anima
My soul, give praise unto the Lord
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #CIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 My soul, give praise unto the Lord,
my spirit, do the same:
And all the secrets of my heart,
praise ye his holy Name;
2 Praise thou the Lord, my soul, who hath
to thee been very kind,
And suffer not his benefits
to slip out of thy mind:
3 That gave thee pardon for thy faults,
and thee restor'd again
From all thy weak and frail disease,
and heal'd thee of thy pain;
4 That did redeem thy life from death,
from which thou could'st not flee;
His mercy and compassion both
he did extend to thee;
5 That fill'd with goodness thy desire,
and did thy youth prolong,
Like as the eagle casts her bill,
again becoming young.
6 The Lord with justice doth repay
all such as are opprest,
So that their sufferings and wrongs
Are turned to the best.
7 His ways and his commandments all
to Moses he did show;
His counsels and his valiant acts
the Israelites did know.
8 The Lord is kind and merciful,
when sinners do him grieve,
The slowest to conceive a wrath,
and readiest to forgive:
9 He will not always chiding be,
though we be full of strife;
Nor keep our faults in memory,
for all our sinful life:
10 According to our sins also
he doth us not regard,
And after our iniquities
he doth us not reward:
11 But as the space is wondrous great
'twixt earth and heav'n above;
So is his goodness much more large
to them that do him love.
12 He doth remove our sins from us,
and our offences all,
As far as is the sun-rising
full distant from his fall.
The Second Part.
13 Behold, what pity parents do
unto their children bear,
Like pity beareth God to such
as worship him in fear.
14 The Lord that made us knows our shape,
our mould and fashion just,
How weak and frail our nature is,
and that we are but dust:
15 And now the time of mortal men
is like the with'ring hay,
Or like the flow'r right fair in field,
that fadeth soon away;
16 Whose gloss and beauty stormy winds
do utterly deface,
And make that after their assaults
such blossoms have no place:
17 But yet the goodness of the Lord
with his shall ever stand;
Their children's children do receive
his righteousness at hand:
18 I mean, who keep his covenant
with all their whole desire,
And not forget to do the thing,
that he doth them require.
19 The heav'ns most high are made the seat
and footstool of the Lord;
And by his pow'r imperial
he governs all the world.
20 Ye angels, that are great in pow'r,
praise ye, and bless the Lord,
Who to obey and do his will
immediately accord:
21 Ye noble hosts and ministers
cease not to praise him still,
Who ready are to execute
his pleasure and his will:
22 Yea, all his works in ev'ry place,
praise ye his holy Name:
My thankful heart, my mind and soul,
praise ye also the same. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English
My soul, give praise unto the Lord
