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 :
Praise Him ! praise Him !
Glorious in His faithfulness !
3
Father- 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 !
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,
Praise Him ! praise Him !
Praise with us the God of grace !

Oh, worship the King,
All glorious above !
Oh, gratefully sing
His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender,
The Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendour,
And girded with praise.
2
Oh, tell of His might,
Oh, sing of His grace !
Whose robe is the light,
Whose canopy space ;
His chariots of wrath
The deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is His path
On the wings of the storm.
3
The earth with its store
Of wonders untold,
Almighty ! Thy power
Hath founded of old :
Hath 'stablished it fast
By a changeless decree ;
And round it hath cast,
Like a mantle,the sea.
4
Thy bountiful care,
What tongue can recite ?
It breathes in the air,
It shines in the light ;
It streams from the hills,
It descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils in
The dew and the rain.
5
Frail children of dust,
And feeble as frail "
In Thee do we trust,
Nor find Thee to fail :
Thy mercies how tender,
How firm to the end !
Our Maker, Defender,
Redeemer, and Friend !
6
O measureless Might !
Ineffable Love !
While angels delight
To hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation,
Though feeble their lays,
With true adoration
Shall sing to Thy praise.

Who from His altar call ;
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
And crown Him Lord of all !

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
A remnant weak and small,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all !

Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall ;
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all !

On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all !

We at His feet may fall ;
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all !

Praise the King of Glory, He is God alone ;
Praise Him for the wonders He to us hath shown ;
For His promised presence all the pilgrim way,
For the flaming pillar, and the cloud by day.

Praise Him for the trials sent as cords of love,
Binding us more closely to the things above ;
For the faith that conquers, hope, that naught can dim,
For the land where loved ones gather unto Him.
