  D         A7        D       G  D
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
G       A         Em      A
To His feet your tribute bring;
 F#        Bm          B        E7
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
F#m       A         E7           A
Who, like me, His praise should sing?
D   A      Bm  A7
Alleluia!  Alleluia!
 Bm         Em  D  A    D
Praise the everlasting King!

Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the save forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
Alleluia!  Alleluia!
Glorious in His faithfulness!

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!

Angels help us to adore Him,
You 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!
