Original text and translations

English text

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? Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King. 2  Praise him for his grace and favour To our fathers in distress; Praise him still the same as ever, Slow to chide and swift to bless: Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in his faithfulness.

3  Fatherlike, 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! Alleluia! 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: Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace.
