Hymn
O Thou My Soul, Bless God the Lord
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.
