Praise, My Soul, the God of Heaven
   vss. 1-2

1    Praise, my soul, the God of heaven;
      joyfully your tribute bring.
      Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
      evermore God's praises sing.
      Alleluia! Alleluia!
      Praises everlasting ring!

2	God be praised for grace and favor
	to our forebears in distress.
	God be praised, the same forever,
	slow to chide and swift to bless.
	Alleluia! Alleluia!
	Glorious is God's faithfulness!

ELW #592 
Just As I Am, without One Plea

1	Just as I am, without one plea,
	but that thy blood was shed for me,
	and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
	O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

2	Just as I am, though tossed about
	with many a conflict, many a doubt,
	fightings and fears within, without,
	O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

3	Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
	wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
	because thy promise I believe,
	O Lamb of God, I come, I come,

4	Just as I am; thy love unknown
	has broken ev'ry barrier down;
	now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
	O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Praise My Soul, the God of Heaven
     vss. 3-4

3	Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish,
	blows the wind and it is gone;
	but, as mortals rise and perish,
	God endures unchanging on.
	Alleluia! Alleluia! 
	Praise the great Eternal One!

4	Angels sing in adoration,
	in God's presence, face to face.
	Sun and moon and all creation,
	all who dwell in time and space.
	Alleluia! Alleluia!
	Praise with us the God of grace!
