The Voice of Praise ‎#334

334. Awake, my soul, to joyous lays

1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays,
And sing the great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me--
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!

3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along--
His loving-kindness, oh, 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, oh, how good!

5 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal powers must fail;
Oh, may my last expiring breath
His loving-kindness sing in death!
