220. O My Soul, Bless Your Creator

1 O my soul, bless your Creator;
all within me bless God's name;
Bless your Maker, and forget not
all God's mercies to proclaim.

2 God forgives all your transgressions,
all who suffer, gently heals;
God redeems you from destruction,
and with you so kindly deals.

3 Far as east from west is distant,
God has put away our sin;
like a mother and a father,
God compassionate has been.

4 As it was without beginning,
so it lasts without an end;
to their children's children ever
shall God's righteousness extend:

5 Unto all who keep God's cov'nant
and are steadfast in God's way;
unto all who still remember
God's commandments and obey.
