Praise Him for His grace and favor To our fathers in distress; Praise Him still the same as ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless. Praise Him, praise Him, alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.
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, alleluia! Widely yet His mercy flows.
