Psalms 103:1-2

[Psa 103:1] Bless, O My Soul! The Living God
Bless, O my soul! the living God.
Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad.
Let all the powers within me join
In work and worship so divine,
In work and worship so divine.Bless, O my soul! the God of grace.
His favors claim thy highest praise.
Why should the wonders He hath wrought
Be lost in silence and forgot,
Be lost in silence and forgot?’Tis He, my soul, that sent His Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done.
He owns the ransom and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives,
The hourly follies of our lives.The vices of the mind He heals,
And cures the pains that nature feels;
Redeems the soul from hell, and saves
Our wasting life from threat’ning graves.Our youth decayed, His power repairs;
His mercy crowns our growing years;
He satisfies our mouth with good,
And fills our hopes with heav’nly food.He sees th’oppressor and th’oppressed,
And often gives the suff’rers rest;
But will His justice more display
In the last great rewarding day.His power He showed by Moses’ hands,
And gave to Israel His commands;
But sent His truth and mercy down
To all the nations by His Son.Let the whole earth His power confess.
Let the whole earth adore His grace.
The Gentile with the Jew shall join
In work and worship so divine,
In work and worship so divine.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 103:1] Come, O My Soul, In Sacred Lays
Come, O my soul, in sacred lays
Attempt thy great Creator’s praise:
But O, what tongue can speak His fame?
What verse can reach the lofty theme?
What verse can reach the lofty theme?Enthroned amid the radiant spheres,
He glory like a garment wears;
To form a robe of light divine,
Ten thousand suns around Him shine,
Ten thousand suns around Him shine.In all our Maker’s grand designs,
Almighty power, with wisdom, shines;
His works, through all this wondrous frame,
Declare the glory of His Name,
Declare the glory of His Name.Raised on devotion’s lofty wing,
Do thou, my soul, His glories sing;
And let His praise employ thy tongue
Till listening worlds shall join the song,
Till listening worlds shall join the song.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 103:1] Holy And Reverend Is The Name
Holy and reverend is the Name
Of our eternal King:
Thrice holy Lord, the angels cry;
Thrice holy, let us sing.Heaven’s brightest lamps with Him compared,
How mean they look and dim!
The fairest angels have their spots,
When once compared with Him.Holy is He in all his works,
And truth is His delight;
But sinners and their wicked ways
Shall perish from His sight.The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul, to God;
Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To His sublime abode.With sacred awe pronounce His Name,
Whom words nor thoughts can reach;
A broken heart shall please Him more
Than the best forms of speech.Thou holy God! preserve my soul
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart are Thy delight,
And they Thy face shall see.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 103:1] My Soul, Now Praise Thy Maker
My soul, now praise thy Maker!
Let all within me bless His Name
Who maketh thee partaker
Of mercies more than thou dar’st claim.
Forget Him not Whose meekness
Still bears with all thy sin,
Who healeth all thy weakness,
Renews thy life within.
Whose grace and care are endless
And saved thee thro’ the past;
Who leaves no suff’rer friendless,
But rights the wronged at last.He shows to man His treasure
Of judgment, truth, and righteousness,
His love beyond all measure,
His yearning pity o’er distress,
Nor treats us as we merit,
But lays His anger by.
The humble, contrite spirit
Finds His compassion nigh;
And high as Heav’n above us,
As break from close of day,
So far, since He doth love us,
He puts our sins away.For as a tender father
Hath pity on his children here,
He in His arms will gather
All who are His in childlike fear.
He knows how frail our powers
Who but from dust are made;
We flourish like the flowers,
And even so we fade;
The wind but o’er them passes,
And all their bloom is o’er—
We wither like the grasses,
Our place knows us no more.God’s grace alone endureth,
And children’s children yet shall prove
How He with strength assureth
The hearts of all that seek His love.
In Heav’n is fixed His dwelling,
His rule is over all;
Angels, in might excelling,
Bright hosts, before Him fall.
Praise Him Who ever reigneth,
All ye who hear His Word,
Nor our poor hymns disdaineth—
My soul, O praise the Lord!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 103:1] O Bless The Lord, My Soul (montgomery)
O bless the Lord, my soul!
His grace to thee proclaim!
And all that is within me join
To bless His holy Name!O bless the Lord, my soul!
His mercies bear in mind!
Forget not all His benefits!
The Lord to thee is kind.He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
And ready to abate.He pardons all thy sins;
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.He clothes thee with His love;
Upholds thee with His truth;
And like the eagle He renews
The vigor of thy youth.Then bless His holy Name,
Whose grace hath made thee whole,
Whose lovingkindness crowns thy days!
O bless the Lord, my soul!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 103:1] O Bless The Lord, My Soul (watts)
O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless His Name
Whose favors are divine.O bless the Lord, my soul,
Nor let His mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.‘Tis He forgives thy sins,
‘Tis He relieves thy pain,
‘Tis He that heals thy sicknesses
And makes thee young again.He crowns thy life with love,
When ransomed from the grave;
He that redeemed my soul from hell
Hath sovereign power to save.He fills the poor with good,
He gives the suff’rers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for th’oppressed.His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His belovèd Son.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 103:1] O Hallelujah, Praise His Holy Name
There’s a story that’s been told, Hallelujah!
Of a Savior and His precious love;
How He died to make us free, Hallelujah!
That we all might go and live with Him above.Refrain
O Hallelujah!
Praise His holy Name and let our voices ring;
There are mansions up above,
All prepared for those who love
And sing of their Savior King.There’s a song that’s in my heart, Hallelujah!
I’m so glad that He has made me whole;
I am saved, and by His grace, Hallelujah!
I will always keep His love within my soul.Refrain
There’s a song that’s in the air, Hallelujah!
All the angels sing it in the sky;
“Just repent and He’ll forgive,” Hallelujah!
And your soul to Him for refuge then will fly.Refrain

[Psa 103:1] 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 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.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

O my soul, bless thou Jehovah,
All within me, bless His Name;

All His mercies to proclaim.

Heals thy sicknesses and pains;
He redeems thee from destruction,
And His love thy life sustains.He with tender mercies crowns thee,
Satisfies thy full request,
So that, like the tireless eagle,
Thou with youth renewed art blessed.
Righteous is the Lord in judgment
Unto all that are oppressed;
To His people He has ever
Made His goodness manifest.Yea, the Lord is full of mercy
And compassion for distress,
Slow to anger and abundant
In His grace and tenderness.
He will be not be angry alway,
Nor will He forever chide;
Though we oft have sinned against Him,
Still His love and grace abide.As the heav’ns are high above us,
Great His love to us has proved;
Far as east from west is distant,
He has all our sins removed.
As a father loves his children,
Feeling pity for their woes,
So the Lord to those who fear Him
Mercy and compassion shows.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Be stirrèd up His holy Name
To magnify and bless.Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
And not forgetful be
Of all His gracious benefits
He hath bestowed on thee.Such pity as a father hath
And shows his children dear,
Like pity shows the Lord to such
As worship Him in fear.Yea, unto them that fear the Lord
His mercy never ends;
And to their children’s children still
His righteousness extends.To such as keep His covenant
Nor from it go astray,
Who His commandments bear in mind
And faithfully obey.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

To His feet thy tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing:

To our fathers in distress.

[Psa 103:2] Ere I Sleep, For Every Favor
Ere I sleep, for every favor,
This day showed, by my God,
I will bless my Savior.O my Lord, what shall I render
To Thy Name, still the same,
Gracious, good, and tender?Leave me not, but ever love me;
Let Thy peace, be my bliss,
Till Thou hence remove me.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 103:2] O Thou My Soul, Forget No More
O thou, my soul, forget no more
The Friend Who all thy misery bore;
Let every idol be forgot,
But, O my soul, forget Him not.Jesus for thou a body takes,
Thy guilt assumes, thy fetters breaks,
Discharging all thy dreadful debt;
And canst thou e’er such love forget?Renounce thy works and ways, with grief,
And fly to this most sure relief;
Nor Him forget, who left His throne,
And for thy life gave up His own.Infinite truth and mercy shine,
In Him, and He Himself is thine:
And canst thou, then, with sin beset,
Such charms, such matchless charms, forget?Ah! no—till life itself depart,
His Name shall cheer and warm my heart;
And lisping this, from earth I’ll rise;
And join the chorus of the skies.Ah! no—when all things else expire,
And perish in the general fire,
This Name all others shall survive,
And through eternity shall live.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Psa 103:21] Ye Servants Of God
Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim,
And publish abroad His wonderful Name;
The Name all victorious of Jesus extol,
His kingdom is glorious and rules over all.The waves of the sea have lift up their voice,
Sore troubled that we in Jesus rejoice;
The floods they are roaring, but Jesus is here;
While we are adoring, He always is near.When devils engage, the billows arise,
And horribly rage, and threaten the skies:
Their fury shall never our steadfastness shock,
The weakest believer is built on a rock.God ruleth on high, almighty to save,
And still He is nigh, His presence we have;
The great congregation His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King.“Salvation to God, who sits on the throne!”
Let all cry aloud and honor the Son;
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.Then let us adore and give Him His right,
All glory and power, all wisdom and might;
All honor and blessing with angels above,
And thanks never ceasing and infinite love.Play source: Cyberhymnal
