Representative Text

1 O bless the Lord, our souls and all within;
O bless the Lord, who pardons ev'ry sin;
Give thanks to him with ev'ry fleeting breath;
Give thanks to him who triumphed over death.
O bless the Lord, ye angels round his throne,
Who do his will and make his wonders known;
Strike, strike your harps, ye ransomed host above,
With rapture sing, and shout redeeming love.

Chorus:
O bless the Lord, our souls and all within;
O bless the Lord, who pardons ev'ry sin;
Give thanks to him with ev'ry fleeting breath;
Give thanks to him who triumphed over death.

2 O bless the Lord, ye worlds beyond the sky;
Break forth, ye depths, let rocks and hills reply;
Praise him, ye stars that saw creation's birth,
Whose music hailed the pure and shining earth.
O bless the Lord, the Prince of Peace adore.
And let his love resound from shore to shore;
O bless the Lord Jehovah, King of kings,
Who guards his own beneath his mighty wings.

Chorus:
O bless the Lord, ye worlds beyond the sky;
Break forth, ye depths, let rocks and hills reply;
Praise him, ye stars that saw creation's birth,
Whose music hailed the pure and shining earth.
