Praise the King of Heaven

Praise the King of Heaven, call upon His name; Praise Him for His mercy, evermore the same. Infinite His wisdom, wonderful His might; Safely He protecteth all who walk aright. 2. Praise the King of Heaven, magnify His grace; He is bending o’er us, kindness in His face. Faithful is His mercy, high as Heaven above; Wider than creation is Jehovah’s love. 3. Praise the King of Heaven; full of pity He— Like a father, knowing our infirmity. Fear not to approach Him and His succor claim; Surely He will aid us, who hath built our frame. 4. Praise the King of Heaven, angels in the height; All who do His bidding, now with us unite. Through His great dominion let the anthem roll; Praise Him now and always; praise Him, every soul.

For O, one far off Easter morn, Christ cleft the realms of night; He gained the victor’s glorious crown, And gave us life and light; He broke the bonds of death and hell, The world has suffered long, And gave us themes of life and love, For each new Easter song.
