AWAKE, MY SOUL, TO
JOYFUL LAYS
1. Awake, my soul,
to joyful lays,
And sing thy great
Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a
song from me,
His lovingkindness,
oh, how free!
Lovingkindness,
lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness,
oh, how free!
2. He saw me ruined
by the fall,
Yet loved me, not
withstanding all;
He saved me from my
lost estate,
His lovingkindness,
oh, how great!
Lovingkindness,
lovingkindness,
His loving
kindness, oh, how great!
3. Though numerous
hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and
hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my
soul along,
His lovingkindness,
oh, how strong!
Lovingkindness,
lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness,
oh, how strong!
4. When trouble,
like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and
thundered loud,
He near my soul has
always stood,
His lovingkindness,
oh, how good!
Lovingkindness,
lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness,
oh, how good!
5. Soon shall we
mount and soar away
To the bright
realms of endless day,
And sing, with rapture
and surprise,
His lovingkindness,
in the skies.
Lovingkindness,
lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness,
in the skies.
