<p>Bless, O my soul! the living God.<br>
Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad.<br>
Let all the powers within me join<br>
In work and worship so divine,<br>
In work and worship so divine.</p>
<p>Bless, O my soul! the God of grace.<br>
His favors claim thy highest praise.<br>
Why should the wonders He hath wrought<br>
Be lost in silence and forgot,<br>
Be lost in silence and forgot?</p>
<p>&#8217;Tis He, my soul, that sent His Son<br>
To die for crimes which thou hast done.<br>
He owns the ransom and forgives<br>
The hourly follies of our lives,<br>
The hourly follies of our lives.</p>
<p>The vices of the mind He heals,<br>
And cures the pains that nature feels;<br>
Redeems the soul from hell, and saves<br>
Our wasting life from threat&#8217;ning graves.</p>
<p>Our youth decayed, His power repairs;<br>
His mercy crowns our growing years;<br>
He satisfies our mouth with good,<br>
And fills our hopes with heav&#8217;nly food.</p>
<p>He sees th&#8217;oppressor and th&#8217;oppressed,<br>
And often gives the suff&#8217;rers rest;<br>
But will His justice more display<br>
In the last great rewarding day.</p>
<p>His power He showed by Moses&#8217; hands,<br>
And gave to Israel His commands;<br>
But sent His truth and mercy down<br>
To all the nations by His Son.</p>
<p>Let the whole earth His power confess.<br>
Let the whole earth adore His grace.<br>
The Gentile with the Jew shall join<br>
In work and worship so divine,<br>
In work and worship so divine.</p>
