Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #318 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Year Written: 1819 Lyrics:
Bless the Lord, my soul!
His grace to thee proclaim!
And all that is within me join
To bless his holy Name!
O bless the Lord, my soul!
His mercies bear in mind!
Forget not all his benefits!
The Lord to thee is kind.
He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
And ready to abate.
He pardons all thy sins;
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.
292
He clothes thee with his love;
Upholds thee with his truth;
And like the eagle he renews
The vigor of thy youth.
Then bless his holy Name,
Whose grace hath made thee whole,
Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days!
O bless the Lord, my soul!
O God, the Father, Son,
And Spirit ever blest,
The One in Three, the Three in One,
Be endless praise addressed.
Amen.
