- 2Praise Him for His grace and favorTo our fathers in distress.Praise Him still the same as ever,Slow to chide, and swift to bless.Alleluia! Alleluia!Glorious in His faithfulness.
- 3Father 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.Alleluia! Alleluia!Widely yet His mercy flows.
- 4Frail as summer's flower we flourish,Blows the wind and it is gone;But while mortals rise and perishOur God lives unchanging on,Praise Him, Praise Him, HallelujahPraise the High Eternal One!
- 5Angels, help us to adore Him;Ye behold Him face to face;Sun and moon, bow down before Him,Dwellers all in time and space.Alleluia! Alleluia!Praise with us the God of grace.
