Christ in Song ‎#268

268. Praise the King of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like thee His praise should sing?
Praise Him! praise Him!
Praise Him! praise Him!
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 blest;
Praise Him! praise Him!
Praise Him! praise Him!
Praise the high eternal One!

3 Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish,
Blows 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!

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,
Praise Him! praise Him!
Praise Him! praise Him!
Praise with us the God of grace!
