The Sounds of Thanksgiving Part 3

“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

Psalm 103:2-5

Praise My Soul, the King of Heaven

by Henry Francis Lyte

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to his feet your tribute bring.

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,

Evermore his praises sing.

Alleluia, alleluia! Praise the everlasting King!

Praise him for his grace and favor to his people in distress.

Praise him, still the same as ever,

Slow to chide and swift to bless.

Alleluia, alleluia! Glorious in his faithfulness!

Fatherlike he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows.

In his hand he gently bears us,

Rescues us from all our foes.

Alleluia, alleluia! Widely yet his mercy flows!

Angels, help us to adore him; you 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!

Be grateful to God. Speak of His love. Count your blessings. Which “foes” has Jesus rescued you from? If you have received Him as your Savior, then you can be confident that Jesus has rescued you from the penalty for sin. And today is the perfect day to praise Him for His indescribable gift!
