Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#38

38. Awake, My Soul, in Joyful Lays

1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing the great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me-
His lovingkindness, O how free!
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness, O how free!

2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate-
His lovingkindness, O how great!
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness, O how great!

3 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood-
His lovingkindness, O how good!
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness,
His lovingkindness, O how good!
