Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#337

337. Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
to His feet your tribute bring;
ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
evermore His praises sing.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King.

2 Praise him for His grace and favor
to His people in distress;
praise Him, still the same as ever,
slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in His faithfulness.

3 Fatherlike, He tends and spares us;
well our feeble frame He knows;
motherlike, He gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet God's mercy flows.

4 Angels iin the height, adore Him;
you behold Him face to face;
saints triumphant, bow before Him,
gathered in from every race.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.
