Bountiful Benefits

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's" (Psalm 103:2-5).

How bountiful these blessings shown
By which our every need is met!
Let all within us make them known,
And never let our souls forget!

He pardons our iniquities.
He heals our sinful, sickened soul
From every spiritual disease;
His healing touch has made us whole!

He has paid redemption's cost,
Since for our life, He laid His down.
He has loved us who were lost,
Whom now His tender mercies crown.

He completely satisfies
And He renews our inner youth.
Like the airborne eagle flies,
He lifts us by His grace and truth.

Lord, receive our thanks and praise
For benefits that You bestow.
Keep us mindful of Your ways
And of the debt of love we owe.
