Victory Songs ‎#73

73. O My Soul, Bless Thou Jehovah.

1 O my soul, bless thou Jehovah,
All within me, bless His name;
Bless Jehovah, and forget not
All His mercies to proclaim.

Chorus:
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear Him
Is the mercy He will ever, ever show.

2 He will not forever chide us,
Nor keep anger in His mind;
Hath not dealt as we offended,
Nor rewarded as we sinned.

3 Far as east is from west distant,
He hath put away our sins;
Like the pity of a father,
Hath the Lord's compassion been.
