Another Metre.
O bless the Lord, to bless his Name
Let my whole Heart be set:
Bless God, my Soul, his Praise proclaim,
Nor Mercies past forget.
Who kindly do's thy Sins forgive,
Thy Maladies remove;
Bids thee, when nigh Destruction, live,
And crowns thee with his Love.
Let my whole Heart be set:
Bless God, my Soul, his Praise proclaim,
Nor Mercies past forget.
Who kindly do's thy Sins forgive,
Thy Maladies remove;
Bids thee, when nigh Destruction, live,
And crowns thee with his Love.
Who fills thy Soul with Good, thy Youth
Thus Eagle-like renews;
Judgment the Lord, in Right and Truth,
To all the injur'd shews.
He made his Ways to Moses known,
His Acts to Israel's Seed;
He's slow to Wrath, to Mercy prone,
And ev'ry gracious Deed.
Thus Eagle-like renews;
Judgment the Lord, in Right and Truth,
To all the injur'd shews.
He made his Ways to Moses known,
His Acts to Israel's Seed;
He's slow to Wrath, to Mercy prone,
And ev'ry gracious Deed.
He will not chide and still contend,
His Anger He'll avert:
He oft forbears when we offend,
Nor pays Sin's full Desert.
As high as Heav'n the Almighty's Seat
Is o'er this earthly Frame,
So is his loving Kindness great
To those, who fear his Name.
His Anger He'll avert:
He oft forbears when we offend,
Nor pays Sin's full Desert.
As high as Heav'n the Almighty's Seat
Is o'er this earthly Frame,
So is his loving Kindness great
To those, who fear his Name.

Part II.
To Sons the Father Pity shows,
So God forbears the Just;
For He, who our frail Nature knows,
Remembers we are Dust.
Man's Days resemble Grass, he blooms,
As in the Field the Flow'r,
Which blasted by the Wind consumes,
And knows its Place no more.
So God forbears the Just;
For He, who our frail Nature knows,
Remembers we are Dust.
Man's Days resemble Grass, he blooms,
As in the Field the Flow'r,
Which blasted by the Wind consumes,
And knows its Place no more.
But Mercy shall to them, that fear
His Name, for ever last,
To God their Children's Children dear
His Faithfulness shall taste:
Who to his sacred Covenant
Still due Submission pay,
Who ne'er a Will effectual want
His Precepts to obey.
His Name, for ever last,
To God their Children's Children dear

Who to his sacred Covenant

Who ne'er a Will effectual want
His Precepts to obey.
Above the Heav'ns by boundless Might
The Lord prepar'd his Throne,
O'er all with undisputed Right
He Sov'raign rules alone.
Ye Angels, who are excellent
In Strength, extol the Lord;
Who still to serve him are intent,
And hearken to his Word.
