Lyics

PRAISE, my soul, the King of heaven;

To His feet thy tribute bring;

Ransom'd, heal'd, restor'd, forgiven,

Who like Thee 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!
