Let all within me join And aid my tongue to bless his name, Whose favors are divine. 2 Oh bless the Lord, my soul; Nor let his mercies lie, Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis he forgives thy sins, 'Tis he relieves thy pain, 'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses, And makes the young again. 4 He crowns thy life with love, When ransom'd from the grave; He that redeem'd my soul from hell Hath sov'reign power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the suff'rers rest; The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for the opprest. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world his truth and grace By his beloved Son.

Pause. 5 Rejoice ye shining worlds on high, Behold the King of glory nigh! Who can this King of glory be? The mighty Lord, the Saviour’s he. 6 Ye heav'nly gates, your leaves display, To make the Lord, the Saviour, way: Laden with spoils from earth and hell, The Conqu'ror comes with God to dwell. 7 Rais'd from the dead in awful state, He opens heav'n’s eternal gate, To give his saints a bless'd abode Near their Redeemer and their God.
