My grateful soul shall bless the Lord

Verse 1

My grateful soul shall bless the Lord, Whose precepts give me light; And private counsel still afford In sorrow's dismal night.

Verse 2

Therefore my heart all grief defies, My glory does rejoice; My flesh shall rest, in hope to rise, Waked by His powerful voice.

Verse 3

Thou, Lord, when I resign my breath, My soul from hell shalt free; Nor let Thy Holy One in death The least corruption see.

Verse 4

Thou shalt the paths of life display Which to Thy presence lead; Where pleasures dwell without allay, And joys that never fade.

Verse 5

Amen.
