Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. – Psalms 103:2
Yea, bless him in the morning,
When slumbers flee away;
Another day is dawning,
Bless him, and haste to pray.
Forget not that he kept thee
Through each unconscious hour;
Forget not thou art living,
By his mighty power.
Bless him for thus beholding
The glorious rising sun;
Bless him for not withholding
Thy sight, thou erring one.
Forget not that his mercies
Are round thee freely shed,
And like the golden sunlight,
Are poured upon thy head.
Bless him when at the table,
Thou sittest down to eat;
Bless him that thou art able
His bounties there to meet.
Forget not that the kindness
Of him who reigns on high –
Like parents for their children –
Does all thy wants supply.
Bless him when thou does ever
The sparkling water sip;
Bless him that he has never
Withheld it from thy lip.
Forget not that Jehovah,
Who bears creation up,
Knowest whene’r thou thirsteth, –
Replenishes thy cup.
Bless him when thou retirest
Upon thy bed to rest;
Bless as thou desirest,
Peace for thy troubled breast.
Forget not that he watched thee
Through all the weary day;
Forget not that he gave thee
Thy couch whereon to lay.
Bless him, he ever giveth
His earthly blessings free;
Bless him for one that liveth,
Who once as slain for thee.
Forget not that living water
Is given thee to drink –
And that the bread of heaven
Forbids that thou shouldst sink.
