3. Lift Up, My Soul, Thy Praises

1 Lift up, my soul, thy praises,
For God is on His throne,
Above all earthly kingdoms
He reigns in pow’r alone!
The Lord of all the nations,
Eternal King of all,
To even me He listens,
And hears me when I call!

Refrain:
Lift up, my soul, thy praises, to the King,
His boundless love and saving grace,
Forever sing.

2 To Him I’ll freely render
The best that life can give,
And count it joy and blessing,
In His dear love to live!
He is my King forever,
And I will sing His praise,
With all-increasing rapture,
Thro’ all my length’ning days. [Refrain]

3 Lift up, my soul, thy praises
That such a Friend is thine,
And sing a song of gladness,
For all His love divine!
My Lord, my King, my Saviour,
My ever-present Friend,
I’ll love Thee and I’ll praise Thee,
With joy that knows no end! [Refrain]
