<p>Awake, my soul, to joyful lays,<br>
|
|
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise;<br>
|
|
He justly claims a song from me -<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how free!<br>
|
|
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how free!</p>
|
|
<p>He saw me ruined in the fall,<br>
|
|
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;<br>
|
|
He saved me from my lost estate -<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how great!<br>
|
|
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how great!</p>
|
|
<p>Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,<br>
|
|
Though earth and hell my way oppose,<br>
|
|
He safely leads my soul along -<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how strong!<br>
|
|
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how strong!</p>
|
|
<p>When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,<br>
|
|
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,<br>
|
|
He near my soul has always stood -<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how good!<br>
|
|
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness, O how good!</p>
|
|
<p>Often I feel my sinful heart<br>
|
|
Prone from my Jesus to depart;<br>
|
|
But though I have him oft forgot,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness changes not.<br>
|
|
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness changes not.</p>
|
|
<p>Soon I shall pass the gloomy vale,<br>
|
|
Soon all my mortal powers must fail;<br>
|
|
O! may my last expiring breath<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness sing in death.<br>
|
|
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness sing in death.</p>
|
|
<p>Then let me mount and soar away<br>
|
|
To the bright world of endless day;<br>
|
|
And sing with raptures and surprise,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness in the skies.<br>
|
|
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,<br>
|
|
His lovingkindness in the skies.</p>
