Praise my soul, the King of Heav'n above;
Praise Him, Lord of all the Earth,
Mighty Potentate and God of Love,
Author of thy second birth.
From this heart shall praise flow endless days,
blessing God, the Holy One:
Clothed in righteousness I stand amazed
at Mercy and Grace begun.
Look upon His cross and dying shame,
oh, my soul, it was for thee!
Look, He took thy guilt, thy sin, thy blame,
as He died on Calvary.
That day turned to night and from that fight
sprang salvation's Genesis;
And above the Cross in shining light,
His Mercy and Justice kissed.
See, He carries thee upon His arms,
Lo! He draws thee to His breast;
and there is no danger nor a harm
that may take thee from His rest!
Thou needst no more fear; He bidst thee cheer,
trav'ling through this world of strife;
and then on that Day, thy vision clear,
thou shalt pass from here to Life!
Blessed Lord and God on High,
Worship Him, O Earth and Heav'nly host;
come, ye seraphs and angels, nigh;
Then with upward wing and voice now sing,
Blessing God the Three in One.
Saints around His feet all triune bring,
worship Him for vict'ries won.
- D. Benning
