HYMN 221.

[My Soul now bless with readiness]

Psal. 103. Free Pardon.

My Soul now bless with readiness
The Lord's most holy Name,
And let my heart's most inward parts
Applaud and spread his fame.

383

O bless the Lord, his praise record,
My Soul be not unkind,
As one that slights his Benefits,
And puts them out of mind:
Who pardons thy Iniquity,
And cancels all thy score;
Who healeth thy Infirmity,
And doth thy health restore:
Who from the Grave thy Life did save,
And Crowns thee from above;
With Mercies free inlarg'd to thee
By his most tender love:
Who satisfies thy Mouth likewise
With Blessings that are good;
Thy flower of Youth, as th'Eagles, doth
He make afresh to bud.
