Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #48 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship Lyrics: 1 O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless his name,
Whose favors 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 sickness,
And makes thee strength again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When rescu'd from the grave;
He, that redeem'd our souls 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 mercy 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. Topics: Of God Praise to God Languages: English
