Text: | Praise, my soul, the King of heaven |
Author: | Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 |
Tune: | PRAISE MY SOUL |
Composer: | John Goss, 1800-1880 |
1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
to his feet thy tribute bring;
ransomed healed, restored, forgiven,
who like me his praise should sing?
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King.
2 Praise him for his grace and favour
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 as his mercy flows.
4 Angels, help us to adore him;
ye behold him face to face;
sun and moon bow down before him,
dwellers all in time and space:
alleluia! Alleluia,
Praise with us the God of grace.
