Come My Soul and Bless the Lord - September Song of the Month

Come, My Soul and Bless the Lord 
​Scripture - Psalm 103
103c in the Trinity Psalter Hymnal​ vs. 1-4, 7

1. Come, my soul, and bless the LORD, all within me bless his name!
   Come, my soul, and bless the LORD; and forget not all his grace:
   all your sins the LORD forgives, all your sicknesses he heals.
   He redeems you from the pit; his compassion he reveals.
2. He will crown you with his love, with his tender mercies true,
   and he fills your life with good; like the eagle, youth renews.
   God, the righteous judge, defends all oppressed and broken ones,
   showing Moses all his ways and his deeds to Isr’el’s sons.
3. For the LORD is slow to wrath, full of mercy, full of grace.
   He abounds in steadfast love, will not chide for endless days.
   God will not retain his wrath, he will not repay our sins;
   he will never deal with us as our wickedness demands.
4. As the heav’ns are high above all the earth which God has made,
   so to those who fear the LORD is his lovingkindness great.
   Far as east is from the west, he removes so far from us,
   in his great, abounding love, all our guilt and wickedness.

     7.  His unfailing righteousness shall to children’s children be,
          to the ones who cov’nant keep and his good commandments heed.
         God the LORD has set his throne; in the heavens it shall stand,
         and his sov’reign kingdom rules over all at his command.
