Oh, bless the Lord, my soul,

As the Friend who died for thee;

And bless Him for the saving grace,

That is so full and free.

Bless the Lord, my soul,

Bless the Lord, my soul;

And all that is within me,

Bless His holy name.

Oh, bless the Lord, my soul,

As the Rock in which we hide;

And bless Him for the sense of peace,

Amid the surging tide.

Bless the Lord, my soul,

Bless the Lord, my soul;

And all that is within me,

Bless His holy name.

Oh, bless the Lord, my soul,

As the Hope so sure and sweet;

And bless Him for the loving call

To worship at His feet.

Bless the Lord, my soul,

Bless the Lord, my soul;

And all that is within me,

Bless His holy name.

Oh, bless the Lord, my soul,

As the Guide in days to come;

And bless Him for the crown of life

In thy eternal home.

Bless the Lord, my soul,

Bless the Lord, my soul;

And all that is within me,

Bless His holy name.
