LyicsAWAKE, my soul, to joyful lays,
And sing the great Redeemer's praise:
He justly claims a song from me-
His loving kindness, O how free!
He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate-
His loving kindness, O how great!
Though numerous hosts of might foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along;-
His loving kindness, O how strong!
When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood-
His loving kindness, O how good!
