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 forgiveth thy transgressions,
Thy diseases all who heals;
Who redeems thee from destruction,
Who with thee so kindly deals.

Far as east from west is distant
He hath put away our sin,
Like the pity of a father
Hath the Lord's compassion been.
As it was without begining,
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 rather, O my soul.
