| Text: | Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven |
| Author: | Henry Francis Lyte |
| Tune: | LAUDA ANIMA (PRAISE MY SOUL) |
| Composer: | John Goss |
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 his people in distress.
Praise him, still the same forever,
slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness!
3 Tenderly he shields 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 as his mercy flows!
4 Angels help us to adore him,
who behold him face to face.
Sun and moon, bow down before him,
all who dwell in time and space.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.
