- 1Bless, O my soul! the living God;
- Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad;
- Let all the powers within me join
- In work and worship so divine.
- 2Bless, O my soul! the God of Grace;
- His favors claim thy highest praise;
- Why should the wonders He hath wrought
- Be lost in silence, and forgot?
- 3'Tis He, my soul, that sent His Son
- To die for crimes which thou hast done;
- He owns the ransom, and forgives
- The hourly follies of our lives.
- 4Let every land His power confess;
- Let all the earth adore His grace:
- My heart and tongue with rapture join,
- In work and worship so divine.
- 5Amen.
