R. I bless the Lord with all of my heart
For all of his marvellous deeds.
1. Give praise to the Lord, o my heart and soul,
Your wonders I praise without end ;
Give praise to the Lord, o my heart and soul
And glorify his holy name.
2. To You I have trusted my soul, o Lord,
You fill me with love and delight ;
Your grace and your mercy surround me,
O blest be the God of my life.
3. I long to give praise and to bless your name,
To sing of your mercy to me ;
My love for your house is unending,
My soul sighs with longing for You.
4. The whole of my being proclaims You, Lord,
With joy I give thanks to my God ;
O Father, your love is so strong for me,
That nothing can keep us apart.
