(one verse introduction)

O bless our God, my soul!
God's grace to you proclaim!
And all that is within me join
to bless God's holy Name!

O bless our God, my soul!
God's mercies bear in mind!
Forget not all God's benefits!
Our God to us is kind.

God will not always chide;
God with patience will await;
God's wrath is ever slow to rise
and ready to abate.

God pardons all our sins,
prolongs our feeble breath;
God heals our sad infirmities
and ransoms us from death.

God clothes us with real love,
upholds us with real truth;
and like the eagle God renews
the vigor of our youth.

Then bless God's holy Name,
whose grace has made us whole.
God's loving-kindness crowns our days:
O bless our God, my soul!
