Representative Text

1 Bless the Lord! my soul is happy,
For I now by faith can say,
Through the blood of his atonement,
All my sins are washed away.

Refrain:
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Still my joyful song shall be;
I have sought and found salvation,
Through the blood that cleanseth me.

2 Bless the Lord! my soul is happy,
And in grace I’m growing still;
This my joy and sweetest comfort,
Jesus leads me where he will. [Refrain]

3 Bless the Lord! my soul is happy,
I can see his glory shine;
Oh, how dear the blest assurance,
I am his and he is mine! [Refrain]

4 Bless the Lord! my soul is happy,
For I know he hears my call,
I will praise him for his mercy,
Bless the Lord, my all in all! [Refrain]
