Hymn

O Thou My Soul, Bless God the Lord

Metre 8.6.8.6.

O thou, my soul, bless God the Lord,

And all that in me is

Be lifted up, his holy name

To magnify and bless.

O bless the Lord all ye his works,

Which with the world is stored!

In His dominion ev’rywhere,

My soul, bless thou the Lord.

Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,

And not forgetful be

Of all the gracious benefits

He hath bestowed on thee.

All thine iniquities who doth

Most graciously forgive,

Who thy diseases all, and pains,

Doth heal, and thee relieve.

Who doth redeem thy life that thou

To death may’st not go down,

Who thee with loving kindness doth,

And tender mercies crown.
