Praise ye the Father! praise our God most holy (9)

Praise ye the Father! praise our God most holy,
Who cheers the contrite-girds with strength the weak!
Praise Him who doth with glory crown the lowly,
And wish salivation beautify the meek!

Praise ye the Father! for His loving kindness,
And all the tender mercies He hath shown!
Praise Him who pardons all our sin and blindness,
And calls us sons, and takes us for His own!

Praise ye the Father-Source of all our blessing,
Before whose gifts earth’s richest boons wax dim!
Resting in Him, His peace and joy possessing,
All things are ours, for we have all in Him!

Praise ye the Father! praise ye Him who gave us,
In full and perfect love, His only Son!
Praise ye the Christ, who died Himself to save us!
Praise Father, Son, and Spirit-Three in One!
