17. O Bless the Lord, My Soul

1 O bless the Lord, my soul!
His grace to thee proclaim!
And all that is within me, join
To bless His holy Name.

2 O bless the Lord, my soul!
His mercies bear in mind!
Forget not all His benefits!
The Lord to Thee is kind.

3 He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
And ready to abate.

4 He pardons all thy sins;
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.

5 Then bless His holy name,
Whose grace hath made thee whole,
Whose loving kindness crowns thy days!
O bless the Lord, my soul!

Amen.
