1 O my soul, bless God the Father;
all within me bless His name;
bless the Father, and forget not
all His mercies to proclaim.

2 Who forgives all your transgressions,
your diseases all who heals;
who redeems you from destruction,
who with you so kindly deals.

3 Far as east from west is distant,
He has put away our sin;
like the pity of a father
has the Lord's compassion been.

4 As it was without beginning,
so it lasts without an end;
to their children's children ever
shall His righteousness extend.

5 Unto such as keep His covenant
and are steadfast in His way;
unto those who still remember
His commandments and obey.

6 Bless the Father, all His creatures,
ever under His control,
all throughout His vast dominion:
bless the Father, O my soul.
