Lyrics

1.
Bless the Lord, O my soul
and all that is within me, bless His holy name
Bless the Lord, O my soul
and forget not even one of His benefits
Who pardons all your iniquities
Who heals all your diseases
Who redeems your life from the pit
And who crowns you with tender mercy and love

2.
Bless the Lord, O my soul
and remember ev'ryone of His kindnesses
Who satisfies your years with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagles'
The Lord gives righteousness and justice
to all who are treated unfairly
He made known His ways to Moses
And His deeds to the people of Israel

3.
Compassionate and gracious is the Lord
slow to anger and filled with unfailing love
He will not always be striving with us
nor remain angry with us forever
He does not punish us for all our sin
Nor deal with us harshly as we deserve
For His lovingkindness to those who fear Him
is as great as the heavens are high above the earth

4.
As far as the east is from the west
that's how far the Lord removed all our sins from us
The Lord is like a Father to His children,
compassionate and tender to those who fear Him
For He knows that our frame is only dust
Our days on earth are like the grass
Like the wildflow'rs we bloom and then we die
The wind blows, then we're gone as if we were never here

5.
From everlasting to everlasting
the love of the Lord is with those who fear Him
His righteousness extends to children of the children
of those who obey and keep His convenant
The heavens are the throne of God
From there He rules over all
Bless the Lord everything, everywhere praise His name
Bless the Lord, O my soul. All within me praise His name.
