Rejoice in the Lord ‎#144

144. 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,
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 his prople in distress;
praise him still the same forever,
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 hands 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,
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.

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.
