8. Bless, O My Soul! The Living God

1 Bless, O my soul! the living God;
Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad;
Let all the powers within me join
In work and worship so divine,
In work and worship so divine,

2 Bless, O my soul! the God of grace;
His favors claim thy highest praise:
Why should the wonders He hath wrought
Be lost in silence and forgot,
Be lost in silence and forgot?

3 'Tis He, my soul! who sent His Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done:
He owns the ransom and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives,
The hourly follies of our lives.

4 Let the whole earth His power confess,
Let the whole earth adore His grace;
The Gentile with the Jew shall join
In work and worship so divine,
In work and worship so divine.

Amen.
