LyicsAwake, my soul, to joy-ful lays,
And sing the great Re-deem-er's praise;
He just-ly claims a song from me,
His lov-ing kindness, oh, how free.
His lov-ing kindness, lov-ing kindness,
His loving kind-ness, oh, how free.
He saw me ru-ined in the fall,
Yet loved me, not-withstanding all;
He saved me from my lost es-tate,
His lov-ing kindness, oh how great.
His lov-ing kindness, lov-ing kindness,
His lov-ing kind-ness, oh, how great.
Tho' num'rous hosts of mighty foes,
Tho' earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along,
His loving kindness, oh, how strong.
When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gather'd thick and thunder'd loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving kindness, oh, how good.
