Words

O, bless the Lord, my soul!Let all within me join,And aid my tongue to bless his name,Whose favors are divine.

O, bless the Lord, my soul!Nor let his mercies lieForgotten in unthankfulness,And without praises die.

'T is he forgives thy sins,'T is he relieves thy pain,'T is he that heals thy sicknesses,And makes thee whole again.

He crowns thy life with love,When ransomed from the grave;He that redeemed my soul from hellHath sovereign power to save.

He fills the poor with good,He gives the sufferers rest;The Lord hath judgments for the proudAnd justice for the oppressed.

His wondrous works and waysTo us he hath made known;And sent the world his truth and grace,By his belovèd Son.
