410 - Praise to God

1. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;

to his feet thy 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 hand he gently bears us,

rescues us from all our foes.

Alleluia, alleluia! Widely yet his mercy flows.

4. 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.

Alleluia, alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace.
