Text:  Psalm 103 
Music:  Gaetano Donizetti, arr. J.B. Herbert  1907
OHT Incipit:  55513 21517 67125

O my soul, bless thou Jehovah,
All within me, bless his name;
Bless Jehovah, and forget not
All His Mercies to proclaim:
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear Him
Is the mercy He will ever, ever show.

He will not forever chide us,
Nor keep anger in His mind;
Hath not dealt as we offended,
Nor rewarded as we sinned.
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear Him
Is the mercy He will ever, ever show.

Who forgives all thy transgressions,
Thy diseases all who heals,
Who redeems thee from destruction,
Who with thee so kindly deals.
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear Him
Is the mercy He will ever, ever show.

Far as east from west is distant,
He hath put away our sin;
Like the pity of a father
Hath the Lord's compassion been.
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear
Him Is the mercy He will ever, ever show.

Bless Jehovah, all His creatures
Ever under His control,
All thoughout His vast dominion;
Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear
Him Is the mercy He will ever, ever show.
