Hymns for a Pilgrim People ‎#9

9. Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To God's feet your tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me, God's praise should sing?
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the Everlasting King!

2 Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
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.
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
Widely as His mercy flows!

4 Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on;
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the high eternal One!

5 Angels, help us to adore Him,
You behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him;
Dwellers in all time and space,
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise with us the God of grace!

Amen.
