Awake, My Soul, in Joyful Lays

1Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me,
His loving kindness,
O how free!

RefrainLoving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness,
O how free!

2He saw me ruin'd in the fall,
Yet lov'd me notwithstanding all;
He sav'd me from my lost estate,
His loving kindness,
O how great!

3Tho' num'rous hosts of mighty foes,
Tho' earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along,
His loving kindness,
O how strong!

4When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving kindness,
O how good!

5And when earth's rightful King shall come To take His ransomed people home,
I'll sing upon that blissful shore His lovingkindness evermore.
