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?
Praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him,
praise the everlasting King.
2 Praise him for his grace and favour
to our fathers in distress;
praise him, still the same for ever,
slow to chide and swift to bless;
praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him,
glorious in his faithfulness.
3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;
well our feeble frame he knows;
in his hand he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes:
praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him,
Widely as his mercy flows.
4 Frail as summer's flower we flourish;
lows the wind and it is gone,
but, while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on:
praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him,
praise the high eternal One.
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,
praise him, praise him, praise him, praise him,
praise with us the God of grace.
