2. Praise Him for his grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same forever,
Slow to chide and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.
Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.
3. Fatherlike, 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! Widely yet His mercy goes.
Alleluia! Widely yet His mercy goes.
4. Frail as summer’s flow’r we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on.
Alleluia! Praise the High Eternal One!

5. 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! Praise with us the God of grace!
Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace!
