Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven
Music: John Goss 1800 – 1880
Lyrics: Henry Francis Lyte 1793-1847 (Based on Psalm 103)

VERSE 1:
Praise, my soul, 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, Praise Him, Praise Him
Praise the everlasting king.

VERSE 2:
Praise Him for His grace and favour,
To our fathers in distress,
Praise Him still the same forever,
Slow to chide and swift to bless,
Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him
Glorious in His faithfulness.

VERSE 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, Praise Him, Praise Him
Widely as his mercy flows.

VERSE 4:
Frail as summer’s flowers we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone,
But while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on
Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him,
Praise the high eternal one!

VERSE 5:
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, Praise Him, Praise Him,
Praise with us the God of Grace.
