A HYMN FOR THE 5TH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY
By Henry Francis Lyte (1834)
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!
2 Praise him for his grace and favor
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!
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!
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,
Praise him! praise him!
Praise him! praise him!
Praise with us the God of grace!
Amen.
