O, bless the Lord, my soul!
His grace to thee proclaim;
And all that is within me, join
To bless his holy name.
Oh, 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.
The Lord forgives thy sins,
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.
He clothes thee with his love,
Upholds thee with his truth;
Then, like the eagle, he renews
The vigour of thy youth.
Then bless his holy name,
Whose grace hath made thee whole;
Whose loving kindness crowns thy days;
Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
---Alternative verses---
He pardons all thy sins,
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.
