O come, my soul,
bless thou the Lord thy Maker,
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.
Bless Him forever,
wondrous in might,
Bless Him, His servants
that in His will delight.
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.
Bless Him forever,
wondrous in might,
Bless Him, His servants
that in His will delight.
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.
Bless Him forever,
wondrous in might,
Bless Him, His servants
that in His will delight.
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.
Bless Him forever,
wondrous in might,
Bless Him, His servants
that in His will delight.
High in the heav’ns His throne
is fixed forever,
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.
Bless Him forever,
wondrous in might,
Bless Him, His servants
that in His will delight.
