To his feet thy 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 as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness.
3 Father like 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 Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the high eternal one!
5 Angels, help us to adore him;
You 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. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Used With Tune: LAUDA ANIMA
