65 O bless the Lord, my soul
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 heals all 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 lovingkindness crowns thy days:
O bless the Lord, my soul!
