Bless The Lord · Taizé · Jacques Berthier · Traditional
Sheet music: https://www.sanctuarycrc.org/worship_resources/pdf/Bless%20The%20Lord%20(Taize)%20(F%20-%20full%20score%20w%20descant).pdf

Chant:
Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God's holy name.
Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life.

Verse (in English):
It is God who forgives all your guilt,
who heals every one of your ills,
who redeems your life from the grave,
who crowns you with love and compassion.

The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy.
God does not treat us according to our sins,
nor replay us according to our faults.

As a father has compassion on his children,
The Lord has pity on those who fear him,
for God knows of what we are made.
God remembers that we are dust.

"Bless the Lord, My Soul" by Jacques Berthier. Sung by Oasis Chorale at Cornerstone Mennonite Fellowship in Ephrata, Pennsylvania on July 11, 2021.

The Taizé Community (French: Communauté de Taizé) is an ecumenical Christian monastic community in Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France. It is composed of about one hundred brothers, from Catholic and Protestant traditions, who originate from about thirty countries around the world. It was founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schütz, a Reformed Protestant.

Taizé has become one of the world's most important sites of Christian pilgrimage, with a focus on youth. Over 100,000 young people from around the world make pilgrimages to Taizé each year for prayer, Bible study, sharing, and communal work. Through the community's ecumenical outlook, they are encouraged to live in the spirit of kindness, simplicity and reconciliation.

They have sought to demonstrate this in the music and prayers where songs are sung in many languages, and have included chants and icons from the Eastern Orthodox tradition. The music emphasizes simple phrases, usually lines from Psalms or other pieces of Scripture, repeated and sometimes also sung in canon.[17] Earlier Taizé community music was conceived and composed by Jacques Berthier.

1  All people that on earth do dwell,
       Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
 2  Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
       Come ye before him and rejoice.

 3  Know that the Lord is God indeed;
       Without our aid he did us make:
    We are his flock, he doth us feed,
       And for his sheep he doth us take.

 4  O enter then his gates with praise,
       Approach with joy his courts unto:
    Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
       For it is seemly so to do.

 5  For why? the Lord our God is good,
       His mercy is for ever sure;
    His truth at all times firmly stood,
       And shall from age to age endure.

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). ( 8 7.8 7 D)

1 Praise the LORD, my soul, O praise him!
LORD my God, you are so great!
2 Wrapped in light as with a garment,
clothed in majesty and state.
Like a tent he spreads the heavens,
3 and above the waters there
Sets the framework of his dwelling,
making it an upper layer.

He makes clouds of heav’n his chariot;
on the wings of wind he rides.
4 He makes flames of fire his servants;
winds obey what he decides.
5 He set earth on its foundations,
so that it should never move;
6 Then the deep submerged the mountains
till the waters stood above.

7 But when you rebuked the waters,
at your thunder they took flight;
8 They receded to the valleys,
flowing down the mountains’ height
To the place that you appointed.
9 You set bounds to their domain,
So that never will the waters
overwhelm the land again.

How perfect is the law of God, how is his covenant sure, 
Converting souls and making wise the simple and obscure. 
8Just are the Lord’s commandements,1 and glad both the heart and mind: 
His precept pure and giveth light to eyes that be full blind. 

9The fear of God is excellent, and doth endure forever: 
The judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether, 
10And more to be embraced always, than fined2 gold, I say: 
The honey and the honeycomb, are not so sweet as they. 

11By them thy servant is forewarned to have God in regard: 
And in performance of the same there shall be great reward. 
12But, Lord, what earthly man doth know, the errors of his life? 
Then cleanse my soul from secret sins, which are in me most rife. 

13And keep me that presumptuous sins prevail not over me: 
And then shall I be innocent, and great offences flee. 
14Accept my mouth and eke mine heart, my words and thoughts each one: 
For my redeemer and my strength, O Lord, thou art alone.

Text  from 'Archbishop Parker's Psalter'. 
Tune: '3rd Mode Melody'  by Thomas Tallis  [CM.D]

3. Let us they say: break down their ray,
of all their bonds and cords:
We will renounce: that they pronounce,
their loores as stately lordes.

4. But God of might: in heauen so bright,
Shall laugh them all to scorne:
The Lord on hie: shall them defie,
they shall be once forlorne.

9. With iron rod: as mighty God,
all rebels shalt thou bruse:
And breake them all: in pieces small,
as sherdes the potters vase.

10. Be wise therfore: ye kinges the more,
Receyue ye wisdomes lore:
Ye iudges strong: of right and wrong,
aduise you now before.

11. The Lorde in feare: your seruice beare,
with dread to him reioyce:
Let rages be: resist not ye,
him serue with ioyfull voyce.

12. The sonne kisse ye: lest wroth he be,
lose not the way of rest:
For when his ire: is set on fire,
who trust in hym be blest
