O bless the Lord, my soul

1
O bless the Lord, my soul! 
Let all within me join, 
and aid my tongue to bless his name 
whose favors are divine. 

2
O bless the Lord, my soul! 
Nor let his mercies lie 
forgotten in unthankfulness,
and without praises die.

3
'Tis he forgives thy sins; 
'tis he relieves thy pain; 
'tis he that heals thy sicknesses, 
and makes thee young again.

4
He crowns thy life with love, 
when ransomed from the grave. 
He that redeemed my soul from hell 
hath sovereign power to save.

5
He fills the poor with good, 
he gives the sufferers rest. 
The Lord hath judgments for the proud, 
and justice for the oppressed.
