1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget His mercies never;
Speak His name, blessed name,
For He lives to reign forever.
He is just, wise and good,
Strong and mighty to deliver;
He is strong, He is kind,
And of ev’ry gift the Giver.

Refrain:
With singing, bells aringing,
Nature joining in the song of adoration;
Victorious, ever glorious,
He hath given us a wonderful salvation.

2 In His hand lie the hills;
It was He who formed the mountains;
And His voice can be heard
In the music of the fountains.
Lo! the sea and the storm
Answer when His word is spoken;
Patient He, ever true,
And His word shall not be broken. [Refrain]

3 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
Come before Him with thanksgiving;
Prove His love and His grace
By a clean and righteous living.
Learn of Him, follow Him,
To the world make known the story
Of His love and His pow’r,
Of His grace and matchless glory. [Refrain]
