26. Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To His feet your tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises 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 Fatherlike, 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 Yet His mercy flows!

4 Angels in the height, adore Him,
You behold Him face to face;
Saints triumphant, bow down before Him;
Gathered in from every race.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace!

Amen.
