Lyics

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,

And sing the great Redeemer's praise;

He justly claims a song from me-

His loving kindness, O how free!

His loving kindness, loving kindness,

His loving kindness, O how free!



He saw me ruined in the fall,

Yet loved me not withstanding all;

He saved me from my lost estate-

His loving kindness, O how great!

His loving kindness, loving kindness,

His loving kindness, O how great!



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!

His loving kindness, loving kindness,

His loving kindness, O how good!



Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,

Soon all my mortal powers shall fail;

O, may my last expiring breath

His loving kindness, sing in death!

His loving kindness, loving kindness,

His loving kindness, sing in death!



Then let me mount and soar away

To the bright world of endless day,

And sing with rapture and surprise

His loving kindness, in the skies.

His loving kindness, loving kindness,

His loving kindness, in the skies.
