238. Oh, Bless the Lord, My Soul

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

2 Oh, bless the Lord, my soul,
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness
And without praises die.

3 'Tis he forgives my sins;
'Tis he relieves my pain;
'Tis he that heals my sicknesses
And makes me young again.

4 He fills the poor with good;
He gives the suff'rers rest;
The Lord has judgments for the proud
And justice for th' oppressed.

5 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known,
But sent the world his truth and grace
By his beloved Son.
