O My Soul, Bless God the Father

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 co­ve­nant

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.
