16. Praise ye the Father! praise the Lord most holy

1 Praise ye the Father! praise the Lord most holy,
Who cheers the contrite, girds with strength the weak;
Praise Him who will with glory crown the lowly,
And with salvation beautify the meek.

2 praise ye the Father! for His loving-kindness,
And all the tender mercy He hath shown;
Praise Him who pardons all our sin and blindness,
And calls us sons, and takes us for His own.

3 Praise ye the Father! Source of all our blessing,
Before His gifts earth's richest boons wax dim;
Resting in Him, His peace and joy possessing,
All things are ours, for we have all in Him.

4 Praise ye the Father! God the Lord, who gave us,
With full and perfect love, His only Son;
Paise ye the Son! who died Himself to save us;
Praise ye the Spirit! praise the Three in One.
