Processional Hymn : Praise my soul : Okan mi, yin Oba orun

1.    PROCESSIONAL HYMN EMHB 12/YMHB 9 (Tune: Regent Square)

Praise my soul, the King of heaven

1.    Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,

To His feet thy tribute bring;

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,

Who like thee His praise should sing?

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Praise the everlasting King.

2.    Praise Him for His grace and favour

To our fathers in distress;

Praise Him, still the same for ever,

Slow to chide and swift to bless:

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Glorious in His faithfulness.

3.    Father-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;

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Widely as His mercy flows.

4.    Angels in the height, adore Him;

Ye behold Him face to face;

Sun and moon, bow down before Him;

Dwellers all in time and space,

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Praise with us the God of grace.

Amen.
