1. Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing my great Redeemer’s praise,
He justly claims a song from me,
His loving kindness, oh, how free!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, oh, how free.
2. He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate,
His loving kindness, oh, how great!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, oh, how great.
3. 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!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, oh, how strong.
(Shaped note version adds Verse 4)
4. When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick, and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving kindness, oh, how good!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, oh, how good!
