Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #71 (1899) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O, bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless His name
Whose favors are divine,
Whose favors are divine.
2 O, bless the Lord, my soul!
Nor let His mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die,
And without praises die.
3 'Tis He forgives thy sins;
'Tis He relieves thy pain;
'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses
And gives thee strength again,
And gives thee strength again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When rescued from the grave;
He that redeemed my soul from death
Hath sovereign power to save,
Hath sovereign power to save.
5 He fills the poor with good;
He gives the sufferers rest:
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for th'oppressed,
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 belovèd Son,
By His belovèd Son.
