The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#22

22. Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
To His feet thy 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 our fathers in distress;
Praise Him still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in His faithfulness.

3 Father-like He tends and spares us,
Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet His mercy flows.

4 Angels in the height, adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Gathered in from every race;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.

Amen.
