Awake, My Soul, To Joyful Lays,
And Sing Thy 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 Mighty 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!
Often I Feel My Sinful Heart
Prone From My Jesus To Depart;
But Though I Have Him Oft Forgot,
His Loving-Kindness Changes Not.
Soon I Shall Pass The Gloomy Vale,
Soon All My Mortal Powers Must Fail;
O May My Last Expiring Breath
His Loving-Kindness Sing In Death.
Then Let Me Mount And Soar Away
To The Bright World Of Endless Day;
And Sing With Raptures And Surprise,
His Loving-Kindness In The Skies.
