Lyics

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;

To his feet thy tribute bring;

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven

Who like me his praise should sing?

Praise him! praise him!

Praise the everlasting King!



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!

Glorious in his faithfulness!



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!

Widely as his mercy flows!
