Words

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

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

2. The Lord forgives your sins;
And he relieves your pain;
And he heals all your sicknesses,
And gives you strength again.

He crowns your life with love,
When rescued from the grave;
He that redeemed our souls from death,
Has boundless power to save.

3. He fills the poor with good;
He gives the sufferers rest:
The Lord has justice for the proud,
And mercy for the oppressed.

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