Scottish hymn writer, James Montgomery, provided this lyric setting of Psalm 103. The melody is adapted from Southern Harmony and provides a musical counterpoint to the joyous lyrics.
 
O bless the Lord, my soul!
His grace to you 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 you 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 your sins,
Prolongs your feeble breath
He heals all your infirmities
And ransoms you from death
 
He clothes you with His love,
Upholds you with His truth
And like the eagle He renews
The vigor of your youth
Then bless His holy Name,
Whose grace has made you whole
Whose loving-kindness crowns your days!
O bless the Lord, my soul!
