Bless, 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. :|
2. Bless, 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! Who sent His Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done.
He owns the ransom and forgives
|: The hourly follies of our lives. :|
4. Let the whole earth His power confess.
Let the whole earth adore His grace.
The Gentile with the Jew shall join
|: In work and worship so divine. :|
