                   Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven


1.   Praise, my soul, the King of heaven, to His feet thy tribute bring;
     Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, who like thee His praise should sing?
     Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King!

2.   Praise Him for His grace and favor to our fathers in distress; Praise Him,
     still the same forever, slow to chide, and swift to bless; Alleluia! Alleluia!
     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; Alleluia! Alleluia!
     Widely as 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!
