Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Frail as summer's flower we flourish, Blows the wind and it is gone; But while mortals
rise and perish Our God lives unchanging on, Praise Him,
Praise Him, Hallelujah Praise the High Eternal One!

Verse 5

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.
