1 Praise, my soul, the king of heaven,
To the throne your tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore God's praises sing.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting king!
2 Praise the Lord for grace and favor
To all people in distress;
Praise God, still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious now God's faithfulness.
3 Father-like, God tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame he knows;
Mother-like, God gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet God's mercy flows.
4 Angels, in the heights adoring,
You behold God face to face;
Saints triumphant now adoring,
Gathered in from ev'ry race:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.
