NOTES: "Bless The Lord (Oh My Soul)" is a spiritual based on Psalm 103:

 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.  

BLESS THE LORD

CHORUS: Bless the Lord, my soul,
Bless the Lord, my soul,
Bless the Lord, my soul,
Praise His holy name.

The Lord is good (the Lord is good)
He reigns forever (he reigns forever)
He is merciful (repeat)
Praise His holy name.

The Lord is good (the Lord is good)
He reigns forever (he reigns forever)
He is merciful (repeat)
Praise His holy name.
CHORUS

The Lord is good (the Lord is good)
He reigns forever (he reigns forever)
He is merciful (repeat)
Praise His holy name.
CHORUS

[repeat this pattern over and over]

For yours is the kingdom
The power and the glory
Forever and ever, Amen.
(repeat over and over)

One version I've heard is a chorus sung in less formal worship styles:
Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
And all that is within me bless His Holy Name (Repeat)

He has done great things,
He has done great things,
He has done great things bless His Holy Name.

Bless the Lord O My Soul

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
Blessed are you O Lord,
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
Forget not all his benefits,
It is he who cleanses all you offenses who cures your illness,
Who rescues your life from destruction.
Who crown you with mercy and compassion
The Lord is compassionate and is merciful,
Slow to anger rich in mercy

Bless the lord O my soul
and all that is within me bless his holy name,
blessed are you O Lord! 
 
Bless the Lord O My Soul- from Azizi (This is how I remember singing this song in my Black Baptist church in New Jersey at least the 1960s and on. The song had a moderately slow tempo)

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
And all that is within me
Bless His Holy Name

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
And all that is within me
Bless His Holy Name

He has done great things
He has done great things
He has done great things
Bless His Holy Name
{Repeat entire verse 1x)

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
And all that is within me
Bless His Holy Name

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
And all that is within me
Bless His Holy Name

Bless The Lord (From Tye Tribbett)

(I Will...) Bless The Lord
Oh My Soul
And All That Is Within Me
Bless His Holy Name [x2]

He Has Done Great Things [x3]
Bless His Holy Name

He Has Done Great Things [x3]
Bless His Holy Name

Hallelujah [x8]
