Hymn 221
From Spiritual Melody (1691), Part IX
MY Soul now bless with readiness
The Lord's most holy Name,
And let my heart's most inward parts
Applaud and spread his fame.
O bless the Lord, his praise record,
My Soul be not unkind,
As one that flights his Benefits,
And puts them out of mind:
Who pardons thy Iniquity,
And cancels all thy score;
Who healeth thy Infirmity,
And doth thy health restore:
Who from the Grave thy Life did save,
And Crowns thee from above;
With Mercies free inlarg'd to thee
By his most tender love:
Who satisfies thy Mouth likewise
With Blessings that are good;
Thy flower of Youth, as th' Eagles, doth
He make afresh to bud.
