1. O bless the Lord, my soul! His grace to thee proclaim!

And all that is within me join to bless his Holy Name!

2. O 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 vigor of thy youth.

6. Then bless his holy Name,

whose grace hath made thee whole,

whose loving kindness crowns thy days:

O bless the Lord, my soul!
