Bless, O My Soul, the Living God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 302 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bless, O my soul, the living God, Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad, Let all the pow'rs 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 favours 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, that 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. The vices of the mind He heals, And cures the pains that nature feels; Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat’ning graves, Our wasting life from threat’ning graves. 5. Our youth decayed, His power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years: He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heav’nly food, And fills our hopes with heav’nly food. 6. He sees th’oppressor and th’oppresst, And often gives the suff’rers rest; But will His justice more display In the last great rewarding day, In the last great rewarding day. 7. His pow'r he showed by Moses’ hands, And gave to Israel his commands; But sent His truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son, To all the nations by his Son. 8. 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.

The heavens shall join in glad accord to praise your wondrous work and word. 3 The swelling sea obeys your will; its angry waves your voice can still. And yours, by right, the heavens and earth, the world in life, in death, in birth. The whole creation’s wondrous frame proclaims its Maker’s glorious name. 4 With blessing is the nation crowned whose people know the joyful sound; they in the light, O God, shall live, the light your face and favour give.

Author: Eliza R. Snow Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake! ye saints of God! awake, Call on the Lord in mighty prayer, That He will Zion’s bondage break, And bring to naught the fowler’s snare. 2 He will regard His people’s cry— The widow’s tear—the orphan’s moan; The blood of those that slaughtered lie, Pleads not in vain before His throne. 3 Though Zion’s foes have counseled deep, Altho’ they bind with fetters strong; The God of Jacob does not sleep— His vengeance will not slumber long. 4 Then let your souls be stayed on God; A glorious scene is drawing nigh: Tho’ tempests gather like a flood, The storm, tho’ fierce, will soon pass by. 5 Our God in judgment will come near, His mighty arm He will make bare: For Zion’s sake He will appear, Then Oh! ye saints! awake, prepare! 6 Awake to union and be one, "Or" saith the Lord, "you are not Mine"; Yea, like the Father and the Son, Let all the saints, in union join.
