284. The Wonders of Divine Grace

1 O come, my soul, bless thou the Lord thy Maker,
And all within me, bless His holy Name;
Bless thou the Lord, forget not all His mercies,
His pard'ning grace and saving love proclaim.

Refrain:
Bless Him, ye angels, wondrous in might,
Bless Him, His servants that in His will delight.

2 Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion,
Most slow to anger, plenteous in love;
Rich is His grace to all that humbly seek Him,
Boundless and endless as the heav'ns above. [Refrain]

3 His love is like a father's to his children,
Tender and kind to all who fear His Name;
For well He knows our weakness and our frailty,
He knows that we are dust, He knows our frame. [Refrain]

4 We fade and die like flow'rs that grow in beauty,
Like tender grass that soon will disappear;
But evermore the love of God is changeless,
Still shown to those who look to Him in fear. [Refrain]

5 High in the heav'ns His throne is fixed forever,
His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole;
Bless ye the Lord thro' all His wide dominion,
Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul. [Refrain]
