Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #138 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise:
He justly claims a song from me,
His loving-kindness is so free.
Loving-kindness, loving kindness,
His loving-kindness is so free.
2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall,
Yet lov'd me, notwithstanding all,
He sav'd me from my lost estate;
His loving-kindness is so great.
Loving-kindness, loving kindness,
His loving-kindness is so great.
3 Through mighty hosts of cruel foes,
Where earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along,
His loving-kindness is so strong.
Loving-kindness, loving kindness,
His loving-kindness is so strong.
4 So when I pass death's gloomy vale,
And life and mortal pow'rs shall fail;
O may my last expiring breath
His loving-kindness sing in death.
Loving-kindness, loving kindness,
His loving-kindness sing in death.
5 Then shall I mount and soar away,
To the bright world of endless day;
There shall I sing, with sweet surprise,
His loving-kindness in the skies.
Loving-kindness, loving kindness,
His loving-kindness in the skies.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Love and Grace of; Grace Refreshing; Salvation by Grace Scripture: Psalm 36:7 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVING-KINDNESS
