Hymns of the Lutheran Church

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!
