“Praise my Soul, the King of Heaven;”


 
A hymn written by H.F. Lyte

(1)

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
    To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
    Evermore His praises sing;
        Praise Him! Praise Him!
        Praise the everlasting King!

(2)

Praise Him for His grace and favour
    To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same as ever,
    Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
        Praise Him! Praise Him!
        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;
        Praise Him! Praise Him!
        Widely yet His mercy flows.

(4)

Angels in the height adore Him,
    They behold Him face to face;
Saints triumphant bow before him!
    Gathered in from every race;
        Praise Him! Praise Him!
        Praise aloud the God of grace.
