Bounteous Blessings

Tune: Lyons

('Ye servants of God')

Psalm 103 v.1-10

********

Bless the Lord, my soul, all that in me be

Bless His holy name, faithful constantly

Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all

His benefits, He shall hear who on Him call

 

He forgives all your sins, forgets them too

heals all your diseases, restores anew

Redeems your life frim destruction, and you crowns

With loving kindness, mercies, His high renowns

 

He satisfies you with good things, provides

For you, His people, in Him each confides

Renewed as the eagle, which flies strong and free

He work righteousness, judgement for oppressed, see

 

He made known His ways to Moses of old

Acted for them, and His commands them told

The Lord, He merciful, and gracious, and slow

To anger, plenteous in mercy, 'tis so

 

He will not always chide, neither will keep

His anger for ever, but tend His sheep

He has not dealt with us here after our sins

But forgives, in him eternal life begins

    oh just had the thought that if hardbound copies of these are no longer available, digital copies will make for helping us when we forget the lyrics.

      Thanks CB. Some churches - some too modern for me sometimes - don't even know what a hymn book looks like. They never see them. It's 'Choruses' sung about a million times - the same ones creep in week after week. Can't they have new, or at least different ones?
      You 'wanna scream it out from every mountain top' as one Chorus says?! Erm, I don't wanna, unaccustomed as I am! lol.

        There is an anointing with those 3/4 hymns that can stir an aching soul into the heavenlies. But in having said that, there are those that fall dismally flat.
