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 for ever, 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 for ever,
His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole;
Bless ye the Lord through all his wide dominion,
Bless his most holy Name, O thou my soul. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: TIDINGS (TURNBRIDGE) Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
