Praise, my Soul, the King of Heaven!

"Praise, my Soul, the King of Heaven!" is a majestic and beloved hymn of adoration. Drawing its inspiration from Psalm 103, it calls on the whole of creation—from the ransomed soul to the angels in heaven—to lift their voices in gratitude. The verses move beautifully from personal thanksgiving for God's healing and forgiveness to a grand, cosmic chorus of praise.

In our parishes, this piece is a magnificent choice for an Entrance or Recessional hymn, especially on festive Sundays or the feast of Christ the King. The soaring descant in the final verse adds a layer of brilliance that echoes the angels helping us to adore Him. It is the kind of robust, uplifting hymn that fills the church loft with energy and invites the entire congregation to sing out with full hearts.
