As I was walking I went by the church tower that plays bells and it was playing a song. I instantly recognised the tune and as a few of the words came back to me, the first thing that popped into my head was a tune name, "Benedic Anima".

So I got home, pulled out a hymnbook, thought it was number 2, was wrong, the number 4 popped into my head, I turned the page, and number 4 was indeed the correct song and number 3 on the facing page was Benedic Anima.

I'm not sure if I should be scared or pleased that a decade after my obsession with this particular hymnbook that sort of thing still is filed in my brain?


O my soul, bless Thou Jehovah,
All within me, bless his name;
Bless Jehovah, and forget not
All His Mercies to proclaim:
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear
Him Is the mercy He will show.

Chorus:
Bless Jehovah, all His creatures
Ever under His control,
All throughout His vast dominion;
Bless Jehovah, O my soul.
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear
Him Is the mercy He will show.

Who forgives all thy transgressions,
Thy diseases all who heals,
Who redeems thee from destruction,
Who with thee so kindly deals.
For as high as is the heaven,
Far above the earth below,
Ever great to them that fear Him
Is the mercy He will show.
