This Psalm is sung to the air ‘I Wish My Love Was a Red, Red Rose’ and praises God’s compassion and mercy.
(refrain in unison, verses solo)
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within,
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless God’s holy name.
Bless the one who crowns us with love and heals our every ill,
Who satisfies with good things as long as we shall live.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within,
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless God’s holy name.
The Lord is slow to anger and quick with love and grace
Far as the east is from the west, so far God removes our sins.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within,
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and bless God’s holy name.
Though all our day are like the grass that flourishes then blows
God’s steadfast love will last fore’er, O bless the Lord my soul
…O bless the Lord my soul
