In his hand he gently bears us,

Psalm 103 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 254 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7 First Line: O bless the Lord, my soul! Lyrics:
O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless his name
Whose favors are divine.
O bless the Lord, my soul,
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.
'Tis he forgives thy sins,
'Tis he relieves thy pain,
'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses
And makes thee young again.
He crowns thy life with love,
When ransomed from the grave;
He that redeemed my soul from hell
Hath sovereign power to save.
He fills the poor with good,
He gives the suff'rers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for th' oppressed.
His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known
But sent the world his truth and grace
By his beloved Son.

Psalm 103 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 467 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:8-18 First Line: My soul, repeat his praise Lyrics:
My soul, repeat his praise,
Whose mercies are so great,
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
God will not always chide;
And when his strokes are felt,
His strokes are fewer than our crimes,
And lighter than our guilt.
High as the heav'ns are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of his grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
His power subdues our sins,
And his forgiving love
Far as the east is from the west
Doth all our guilt remove.
The pity of the Lord,
To those that fear his name,
Is such as tender parents feel;
He knows our feeble frame.
He knows we are but dust,
Scattered with every breath;
His anger, like a rising wind,
Can send us swift to death.
Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower;
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field
It withers in an hour.
But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.

Psalm 103: O thou my soul, bless God the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103 First Line: O thou my soul, bless God the Lord Lyrics:
1O thou my soul, bless God the Lord;
and all that in me is
Be stirred up his holy name
to magnify and bless.
2Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
and not forgetful be
Of all his gracious benefits
he hath bestow’d on thee.
3All thine iniquities who doth
most graciously forgive:
Who thy diseases all and pains
doth heal, and thee relieve.
4Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
to death may’st not go down;
Who thee with loving-kindness doth
and tender mercies crown:
5Who with abundance of good things
doth satisfy thy mouth;
So that, ev’n as the eagle’s age,
renewed is thy youth.
6God righteous judgment executes
for all oppressed ones.
7His ways to Moses, he his acts
made known to Isr’el’s sons.
8The Lord our God is merciful,
and he is gracious,
Long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
in mercy plenteous.
9He will not chide continually,
nor keep his anger still.
10With us he dealt not as we sinn’d,
nor did requite our ill.
11For as the heaven in its height
the earth surmounteth far;
So great to those that do him fear
his tender mercies are:
12As far as east is distant from
the west, so far hath he
From us removed, in his love,
all our iniquity.
13Such pity as a father hath
unto his children dear;
Like pity shews the Lord to such
as worship him in fear.
14For he remembers we are dust,
and he our frame well knows.
15Frail man, his days are like the grass,
as flow’r in field he grows:
16For over it the wind doth pass,
and it away is gone;
And of the place where once it was
it shall no more be known.
17But unto them that do him fear
God’s mercy never ends;
And to their children’s children still
his righteousness extends:
18To such as keep his covenant,
and mindful are alway
Of his most just commandements,
that they may them obey.
19The Lord prepared hath his throne
in heavens firm to stand;
And ev’ry thing that being hath
his kingdom doth command.
20O ye his angels, that excel
in strength, bless ye the Lord;
Ye who obey what he commands,
and hearken to his word.
21O bless and magnify the Lord,
ye glorious hosts of his;
Ye ministers, that do fulfil
whate’er his pleasure is.
22O bless the Lord, all ye his works,
wherewith the world is stor’d
In his dominions ev’ry where.
My soul, bless thou the Lord.
Psalm 103: O thou my soul, bless God the Lord
Psalm 103 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 301 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7 First Line: Bless, O my soul, the living God Lyrics:
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.
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?
'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 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 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.
He sees th' oppressor and th' oppressed,
And often gives the suff'rers rest;
But will his justice more display
In the last great rewarding day.
[His power he showed by Moses' hands,
And gave to Isr'el his commands;
But sent his truth and mercy down
To all the nations by his Son.
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.]

Bless His Holy Name
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 903 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:12 Lyrics: 1. There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
2. There's a welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior;
There is healing in His blood.
3. But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own;
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own.
4. For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of one's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
5. If our love were but more simple,
We could take Him at His word;
And our lives would be more loving
In the likeness of our Lord. Used With Tune: WELLESLEY

Bless the Lord, my soul!
His grace to thee proclaim!
And all that is within me join
To bless his holy Name!
O bless the Lord, my soul!
His mercies bear in mind!
Forget not all his benefits!
The Lord to thee is kind.
He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
And ready to abate.
He pardons all thy sins;
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.
292
He clothes thee with his love;
Upholds thee with his truth;
And like the eagle he renews
The vigor of thy youth.
Then bless his holy Name,
Whose grace hath made thee whole,
Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days!
O bless the Lord, my soul!
O God, the Father, Son,
And Spirit ever blest,
The One in Three, the Three in One,
Be endless praise addressed.
Amen.

Psalm 103 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103:8-18 First Line: The Lord, how wondrous are his ways! Lyrics:
The Lord, how wondrous are his ways!
How firm his truth! how large his grace!
He takes his mercy for his throne,
And thence he makes his glories known.
Not half so high his power hath spread
The starry heav'ns above our head,
As his rich love exceeds our praise,
Exceeds the highest hopes we raise.
Not half so far hath nature placed
The rising morning from the west,
As his forgiving grace removes
The daily guilt of those he loves.
How slowly doth his wrath arise!
On swifter wings salvation flies;
And if he lets his anger burn,
How soon his frowns to pity turn
Amidst his wrath compassion shines;
His strokes are lighter than our sins
And while his rod corrects his saints,
His ear indulges their complaints.
So fathers their young sons chastise
With gentle hand and melting eyes;
The children weep beneath the smart,
And move the pity of their heart.
The mighty God, the wise and just,
Knows that our frame is feeble dust;
And will no heavy loads impose
Beyond the strength that he bestows.
He knows how soon our nature dies,
Blasted by every wind that flies;
Like grass we spring, and die as soon,
Or morning flowers that fade at noon.
But his eternal love is sure
To all the saints, and shall endure;
From age to age his truth shall reign,
Nor children's children hope in vain.

Through his vast kingdom show
Their Maker's glory, thou, my soul,
Shalt sing his graces too.

All within me, bless God's Name;
Bless the Savior, and forget not
All God's mercies to proclaim;

All diseases gently heals;

Has the Lord's compassion been.
4 As it was without beginning,
So it lasts without an end;
To their children's children ever
Shall God's righteousness extend:
5 Unto such as keep God's covenant
And are steadfast in God's way;
Unto those who still remember
The commandments and obey.
6 Bless your Maker, all you creatures,
Ever under God's control,
All throughout God's vast dominion;
Bless the Lord of all, my soul!

My Soul, inspired with sacred Love
Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 103 Lyrics: 1 My Soul, inspir'd with sacred Love,
2 God's holy Name for ever bless;
Of all his Favours mindful prove,
And still thy grateful Thanks express.
3,4 'Tis he that all thy Sins forgives,
And after Sickness makes thee sound:
From Danger He thy Life retrieves,
By him with Grace and Mercy crown'd.
5,6 He with good Things my Mouth supplies,
My Vigor, Eagle-like, renew:
He, when the guiltless Suff'rer cries,
His Foe with just Revenge pursues.
7 God made of old his righteous Ways
To Moses and our Fathers known;
His Works to his eternal Praise,
Were to the Sons of Jacob shown.
8 The Lord abounds with tender Love
And unexampled Acts of Grace:
His waken'd Wrath doth slowly move,
His willing Mercy flows apace.
9 God will not always harshly chide,
But with his Anger quickly part;
And loves his Punishment to guide
More by his Love than our Desert.
11 As high as Heav'n its Arch extends
Above this little Spot of Clay;
so much his boundless Love transcends
The small Respects that we can pay.
12,13 As far as 'tis from East to West,
So far has he our Sins remov'd;
Who with a Father's tender Breast,
Has such as fear him always lov'd.
14,15 For God, who all our Frame surveys,
Considers that we are but Clay:
How fresh soe'er we seem, our days
Like Grass or Flow'rs must fade away:
16,17 Whilst they are nipt with sudden Blasts,
Nor can we find their former Place;
God's faithful Mercy ever lasts,
To those that fear him, and their Race.
18 This shall attend on such as still
Proceed in his appointed Way;
And who not only know his Will,
But to it just Obedience pay.
19,20 The Lord, the Universal King,
In Heav'n has fix'd his lofty Throne:
To him, ye Angels, Praises sing,
In whose great Strength his Pow'r is shown.
Ye that his just Commands obey,
And hear and do his sacred Will:
21 Ye Hosts of his this Tribute pay,
Who still what he ordains fulfil.
22 Let ev'ry Creature jointly bless
The mighty Lord: And thou, my Heart,
With grateful Joy thy Thanks express,
And in this Consort bear thy Part.

O gratefully sing His pow'r and His love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 This earth, with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy pow'r hath founded of old,
Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail.
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend!
6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love.
While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
Thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.
