H. F. Lyte

8.7.8.7.8.7.

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 favor

To our fathers in distress,

Praise Him, still the same forever,

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!
