474b. Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!

1 Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
His grace to thee proclaim!
And all that is within me join
to bless His holy Name!

2 Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
His mercies bear in mind!
Forget not all His benefits!
The Lord to thee is kind.

3 He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
And ready to abate.

4 He pardons all thy sins;
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.

5 He clothes thee with His love;
Upholds thee with His truth;
And, like the eagle He renews
The vigor of thy youth.

5 Then bless His Holy Name,
Whose grace hath made thee whole,
Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days!
Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!

Amen.
