Praise, My Soul, the God of Heaven
1. Praise, my soul, the God of heaven,
Glad of heart your carols raise;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me, should sing God's praise?
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the Maker all your days!
2. Praise God for the grace and favor
Shown our forebears in distress;
God is still the same forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Sing our Maker's faithfulness!
3. Like a loving parent caring,
God knows well our feeble frame;
Gladly all our burdens bearing,
Still to countless years the same.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
All within me, praise God's name!
4. Angels, teach us adoration,
You behold God face to face;
Sun and moon and all creation,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace!
