1 Bless the Lord, O Soul of mine;
Bless Him for His love divine;
Bless Him for His gifts so free
Ev'ry day bestowed on thee.

Refrain:
Ransomed spirits, bless the Lord!
Ev'ry heart His love record!
Testify of grace so free,
Pardoning and healing Thee!

2 All thy sins are now for given,
And thy name enrolled in heav'n;
Tho' a rebel thou hast been
Christ hath ransomed thee from sin. [Refrain]

3 Hallelujah! sin and pain,
In me do no longer reign!
Faith in Christ doth set me free,
Daily giving victory. [Refrain]

4 Bless the Lord, O Soul of mine;
Trim thy light and let it shine!
Show to men this way of love,
And the pow'r of Jesus prove. [Refrain]

5 Bless the Lord, O Soul of mine;
Walking in God's light divine!
Praise Him for His grace so free,
Pardoning and healing thee. [Refrain]
