Praise My Souls, The King of Heaven

by Unknown

Praise my souls, the king of heaven;
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven
Who like me His praise should sing
Praise Him! Praise Him! (2x)
Praise the everlasting king.
Praise Him for His grace and favour
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same for ever,
Slow to chide and swift to bless
Praise Him! Praise Him! (2x)
Glorious in His faithfulness.
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:
Praise Him! Praise Him! (2x)
Widely as His mercy flows
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! (2x)
Praise the high eternal one.
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! (2x)
Praise with us the God of grace
HENRY FRANCIS LYTE, 1793 - 1847
