Lyrics:

Refrain: ||: Lord, send out your spirit and renew the face of the earth. :||

1. O bless the Lord, my soul. O Lord, how great are your ways! How many are your works, O Lord! The earth is full of your glory!

2. You take back your spirit, they die, returning to the dust. You send forth your spirit, they are created. You renew the face of the earth.

3. May the glory of God be forever. May the Lord rejoice in his works! May my thoughts and my deeds be pleasing to him. I find my joy in the Lord.
