Hymns

O bless the Lord, my soul!

by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)

Based on Ps 103:1-7

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 sicknesses
And makes thee young again.

4

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

5

He fills the poor with good,
He gives the suff'rers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice 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.
