Verse 1

My soul, inspired with sacred love, God's holy Name for ever bless; Of all His favours mindful prove, And still Thy grateful thanks express.

Verse 2

'Tis He that all thy sins forgives, And after sickness makes thee sound; From danger He thy life retrieves, By Him with grace and mercy crown'd.

Verse 3

The Lord abounds with tender love And unexampled acts of grace; His waken'd wrath doth slowly move, His willing mercy flies apace.

Verse 4

God will not always harshly chide, But with His anger quickly part; And loves His punishment to guide More by His love than our desert.

Verse 5

As far as 'tis from east to west, So far has he our sins removed; Who, with a father's tender breast, Has such as fear Him always loved.
