Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 539 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; To his feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Evermore his praises sing. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King. 2 Praise him for his grace and favor To his people in distress. Praise him, still the same as ever, Slow to chide and swift to bless. Alleluia! Alleluia! 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. Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely yet 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. 5 Angels, help us to adore him; You behold him face to face. Sun and moon, bow down before him, Dwellers all in time and space. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace. Topics: Praise Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: LAUDA ANIMA

Alleluia, Lord Most High!" Topics: Praise Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Liturgy of St. James, 5th C.
