O my soul, bless God the Father; All within me bless His Name; Bless the Father, and forget not All His mercies to proclaim. Who forgives all your transgressions, Your diseases all Who heals; Who redeems you from destruction, Who with you so kindly deals. 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. As it was without beginning, So it lasts without an end; To their children's children ever Shall His righteousness extend. Unto such as keep His cov'nant And are steadfast in His way; Unto those who still remember His commandments, and obey. Bless the Father, all His creatures, Ever under His control, All throughout His vast dominion; Bless the Father, O my soul.
