O Bless the Lord, My Soul (Watts)

O bless the Lord

my soul!

Let all with­in me join

And aid my tongue to bless His name

Whose fa­vors are di­vine.

O bless the Lord

my soul

Nor let His mer­cies lie

Forgotten in un­thank­ful­ness

And with­out prais­es die.

‘Tis He for­gives thy sins

’Tis He re­lieves thy pain

’Tis He that heals thy sick­ness­es

And makes thee young again.

He crowns thy life with love

When ran­somed from the grave;

He that re­deemed my soul from hell

Hath sov­er­eign pow­er to save.

He fills the poor with good

He gives the suf­fer­ers rest;

The Lord hath judgm­ents for the proud

And jus­tice for th’op­pressed.

His won­drous works and ways

He made by Mo­ses known

But sent the world His truth and grace

By His be­lov­èd Son.
