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!
