Bless the Lord, oh my soul

884 S. M.
The loving-kindness of the Lord.

O BLESS the Lord, my soul;
   His grace to thee proclaim;
   And all that is within me, join
   To bless his holy Name.

2 The Lord forgives thy sins,—
   Prolongs thy feeble breath;
   He healeth thine infirmities,
   And ransoms thee from death.

3 He clothes thee with his love,—
   Upholds thee with his truth;
   And like the eagle he renews
   The vigour of thy youth.

4 Then bless his holy Name
   Whose grace hath made thee whole;
   Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days:
   O bless the Lord, my soul.
