PRAISE MY SOUL *

Praise, my soul, the king of heaven
To His feet your tribute bring
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven
Who like me His praise should sing?
Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise the everlasting king!

Praise him for His grace and favour
To His people in distress
Praise Him still the same as ever
Slow to blame and swift to bless
Alleluia, Alleluia
Glorious in His faithfulness!

Fatherlike, He tends and spares us
All our hopes and fears He knows,
In His hands He gently bears us
Rescues us from all our foes,
Alleluia, Alleluia
Widely as his mercy flows!

Angels help us to adore Him
You behold Him face to face
Sun and moon, bow down before Him
Praise Him all in time and space
Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise with us the God of grace!

Pouring his grace on our lives day by day.

Clothed in his glory and bearing his name,
Laying our lives with gladness before him
Filled with his Spirit we worship the King,

ALLELUIA, SING TO JESUS *

Allelluia. sing to Jesus!
His the sceptre. His the throne
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.
Hear the songs of Holy Zion
thunder like a mighty flood:
Jesus out of every nation
has redeemed us by His blood!

Alleluia! Not as orphans
are we left in sorrow now:
Alleluia! He is near us:
faith believes, nor questions how,
Though the cloud from sight received him
who the angels now adore,
shall our hearts forget his promise.
'I am with you evermore?'

Alleluia! Bread of heaven,
here on earth our food, our stay,
Alleluia! Here the sinful
come to you from day to day
Intercessor, friend of sinners,
where the songs of all the sinless
earth's redeemer, plead for me,
sweep across the crystal sea

Alleluia, sing to Jesus!
His the sceptre, His the throne
Aleluia' His the triumph,
His the victory alone.
Hear the songs of Holy Zion
thunder like a mighty flood
Jesus out of every nation
has redeemed us by his blood'
