O Bless the Lord, My Soul

O Bless the Lord, My Soul

  O bless the Lord, my soul!
  Let all within me join
  And aid my tongue to bless His Name,
  Whose favors are divine.
 
  O bless the Lord, my soul!
  Nor let His mercies lie
  Forgotten in unthankfulness,
  And without praises die.
  
  He crowns thy life with love,
  When ransomed from the grave.
  He that redeemed my soul from hell,
  Hath sov'reign pow'r to save. 
  
  His wondrous works and ways
  He made by Moses known:
  But sent the world His truth and grace
  By His beloved Son.

Aaron Williams

Aaron Williams composed Saint Thomas.

He lived from 1731 to 1776. He was a psalmodist outside the mainstream of European music.

Isaac Watts

Isaac Watts wrote O Bless the Lord, My Soul

Indeed, he wrote an incredible number of hymns. He was born in 1674 and died 1748. He was dismayed at the indifferent, and negligent worship.

O Bless the Lord, My Soul

This poem is a personal doxology. Although the poet invites all things to join in the doxology, and references the Moses showing God's wondrous works and ways, and the Son of God as bearing truth and grace, the main reason for the poem is the writer's life has been "crowned with love", has been "ransomed from the grave" and redeemed from hell.
