Hymn 709
Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
Meter: S.M.
Scripture: Ps 103:2
1
Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
His-grace to thee proclaim,
And all that is within me join
To bless His Holy Name.
2
Oh bless the Lord, my soul!
His mercies bear in mind
Forget not all His benefits;
The Lord to thee is kind.
3
He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise
And ready to abate.
4
He pardons all thy sins,
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.
5
He clothes thee with His love,
Upholds thee with His truth,
And, like the eagle, He renews
The vigour of thy youth.
6
Then bless His holy Name,
Whose grace hath made thee whole.
Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days:
Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
