Original lyrics in English: Canon of Praise
All within me bless the Lord, All within me bless His holy name. (Bless the Lord, O my soul, all within me, bless His holy name...) Bless the Lord, O bless His holy name.
O hear, you righteous, know that the Lord is good. With truth, with hope, He crowns with hope and truth.
God the Lord is gracious, the same forever. The Lord our God loves, He loves His own.
Those who know the Lord, they claim His everpresent help. O bless the Lord, O all within me bless His holy name. O bless the Lord, my soul, O bless His holy name.
Todo mi ser bendiga al Señor, Todo mi ser bendiga Su santo Nombre. (Bendice al Señor, oh alma mía, todo mi ser bendiga Su santo Nombre ... ) Bendice al Señor, oh bendice Su santo Nombre.
Oh justos, escuchad, sabed que el Señor es bueno. Con verdad, con esperanza, Él nos corona con esperanza y verdad.
El Señor Dios es misericordioso, el Mismo por siempre. El Señor nuestro Dios nos ama, El ama a los suyos.
Los que conocen al Señor claman por Su permanente ayuda. Bendice al Señor, oh todo mi ser bendiga Su santo Nombre. Bendice al Señor, alma mía, oh bendice Su santo Nombre.
