I came across this hymn today. It was a blessing to my heart. It was written by Henry Francis Lyte in 1834.
\n1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
\nto his feet your tribute bring.
\nRansomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
\nevermore his praises sing.
\nAlleluia, alleluia!
\nPraise the everlasting King!
\n2 Praise him for his grace and favor
\nto his people in distress.
\nPraise him, still the same as ever,
\nslow to chide, and swift to bless.
\nAlleluia, alleluia!
\nGlorious in his faithfulness!
\n3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;
\nwell our feeble frame he knows.
\nIn his hand he gently bears us,
\nrescues us from all our foes.
\nAlleluia, alleluia!
\nWidely yet his mercy flows!
\n4 Angels, help us to adore him;
\nyou behold him face to face.
\nSun and moon, bow down before him,
\ndwellers all in time and space.
\nAlleluia, alleluia!
\nPraise with us the God of grace!
\n5 Frail as summer\u2019s flower we flourish;
\nBlows the wind and it is gone;
\nBut while mortals rise and perish
\nGod endures unchanging on.
\nPraise him! Praise him!
\nPraise the high eternal One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
