Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) ‎#2

2. Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!

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

2 Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
Nor let His mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.

3 'Tis He forgives thy sins;
'Tis He relieves thy pain;
'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses,
And given thee strength again.

4 He crowns thy life with love,
When rescued from the grave,
He, that redeem'd our souls from death,
Hath boundless power to save.

5 He fills the poor with good;
He gives the suff'rers rest.
The Lord hath justice for the proud,
And mercy for the oppress'd.

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