24. 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, O, how free! Loving kindness, loving kindness, His loving kindness, O 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, O, how great! Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, His loving-kindness, O 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, O, how strong! Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, His loving-kindness, O how strong! [4] 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! Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, His loving-kindness, O how good!
