Awake, my Soul, in Joyful Lays

Verse 1

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from me;
His lovingkindness, O how free!
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness, O how free!

Verse 2

He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate;
His lovingkindness, O how great!
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness, O how great!

Verse 3

Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along:
His lovingkindness, O how strong!
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness, O how strong!

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

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