[English]

The sun comes up

It's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass

And whatever lies before me

Let me be singing

When the evening comes

Bless the Lord Oh! my soul

Oh! my soul

Worship His Holy name

Sing like never before

Oh! my soul

I'll worship Your Holy name

You're rich in love

And You're slow to anger

Your name is great

And Your heart is kind

For all Your goodness

I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons

For my heart to find

Bless the Lord Oh! my soul

Oh! my soul

Worship His Holy name

Sing like never before

Oh! my soul

I'll worship Your Holy name

-Oo-

And on that day

When my strength is failing

The end draws near

And my time has come

Still my soul will

Sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years

And then forevermore

Bless the Lord Oh! my soul

Oh! my soul

Worship His Holy name

Sing like never before

Oh! my soul

I'll worship Your Holy name

Yes, I'll worship Your Holy name

Lord I'll worship Your Holy name

-Oo-
