Open the hymnal
103Praise, My Soul, the King of HeavenHenry Francis Lyte, 1834
1Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;To His feet thy tribute bring.Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,Who like thee His praise should sing?Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him, praise Him,Praise the everlasting King.
2Praise Him for His grace and favourTo 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.
3Father-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.
4Angels, 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.

Open the hymnal
104Now Thank We All Our GodMartin Rinkart, 1636, translated by Catherine Winkworth, 1856
1Now thank we all our GodWith heart and hands and voices,Who wondrous things hath done,In whom His world rejoices;Who from our mothers' armsHath blessed us on our wayWith countless gifts of love,And still is ours today.
2O may this bounteous GodThrough all our life be near us,With ever joyful heartsAnd blessed peace to cheer us;And keep us in His grace,And guide us when perplexed,And free us from all illsIn this world and the next.
3All praise and thanks to GodThe Father now be given,The Son, and Him who reignsWith them in highest heaven,The one eternal God,Whom earth and heaven adore;For thus it was, is now,And shall be evermore.
