Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven | Classic Hymn with Lyrics for Worship

Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven This hymn was written by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) and is based on Psalm 103. Born in Scotland and educated at Enniskillen and Trinity College in Dublin, Lyte's most significant appointment was as Anglican curate at Lower Brixham, Devonshire, England, where he served for 24 years. Kenneth Osbeck notes that Lyte "was known as a man frail in body but strong in faith and spirit." Suffering from chronic asthma and tuberculosis, he retired from his parish in September 1847. Seeking a better climate in Italy, he died that November in Nice, France, on his way to Rome. The popularity of this hymn has been greatly aided by "Lauda Anima," John Goss's tune, written in 1869 for this text. Its inclusion in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1875 edition) and in The English Hymnal (1906) has made it one of the most widely sung Victorian tunes.
