Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join
and help my tongue to bless his name
whose mercies are divine.
2. O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let not his mercies lie
forgotten in unthankfulness,
from lack of praise to die.
3. For God forgives your sins
and God relieves your pain;
the Lord who heals your sicknesses,
he makes you young again.
4. He crowns your life with love
when ransomed from the grave;
he who redeemed my soul from hell
has sovereign power to save.
5. The Lord provides your food
and gives the sufferers rest;
the Lord has judgement for the proud
and justice for the oppressed.
6. His mighty works and ways
by Moses he made known,
but gave the world his truth and grace
by his beloved Son.
