Author: H. F. Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: HTC #38 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Praise, my soul, the king of heaven!
to his feet your tribute bring:
ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
who like me his praise should sing?
Alleluia, alleluia!
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 blame and swift to bless:
Alleluia, alleluia!
glorious in his faithfulness!
3 Father-like he tends and spares us;
all our hopes and fears he knows,
in his hands he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes,
Alleluia, alleluia!
widely as his mercy flows.
4 Angels, help us to adore him —
you behold him face to face;
sun and moon, bow down before him,
praise him, all in time and space:
Alleluia, alleluia!
praise with us the God of grace! Topics: God, Father Gracious and Merciful; Christ the Teacher; Christ the Healer; Pentecost 4 The Freedom God Gives; Pentecost 7 The More Excellent Way Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: PRAISE, MY SOUL
