Great Hymns of the Faith ‎#35

35. 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,
Evermore His praises sing:
Alleluia!
Praise the Everlasting King!
Alleluia!
Praise the Everlasting King!

2 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!
Widely yet His mercy flows!
Alleluia!
Widely yet His mercy flows!

3 Angels in the height, adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space;
Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace!
Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace!
