I love the dear Redeemer’s name, Praise the Lord, O my soul! To cleanse my heart from sin He came, Praise Him, O my soul! He came, a gentle Shepherd, kind, The lost and wearied lambs to find, And with His love their hearts to bind, Praise Him, O my soul!
Refrain: Praise His name! O praise His name! Evermore His love proclaim: Praise Him, O my soul!
He came the hungry ones to feed, Praise the Lord, O my soul! And for the wand’ring sinners plead, Praise Him, O my soul! He safely gathers to His fold, From off the mountains bare and cold, Each one more precious far than gold, Praise Him, O my soul!
My heart from guilt and woe is freed, Praise the Lord, O my soul! I’m dead to sin, yes, dead indeed, Praise Him, O my soul! He came to bear my load of grief, And give me constant, sure relief, By simple trusting and belief, Praise Him, O my soul!
He came to cheer me on the way, Praise the Lord, O my soul! And teach me how to watch and pray, Praise Him, O my soul! He gives me grace the cross to bear, That I a crown at last might wear, And reach my heav’nly mansion fair, Praise Him, O my soul!
