Author: Rev. Samuel Medley Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #2 (1929) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Refrain First Line: Loving kindness, loving kindness Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer's praise:
He justly claims a song from thee,
His loving kindness, O how free!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, O how free!
2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me not-withstanding 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 Though 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!
5 Often I feel my sinful heart
Prone from my Savior to depart;
But though I oft have Him forgot,
His loving kindness changes not.
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness changes not. Topics: Praise Languages: English Tune Title: LOVING KINDNESS
Awake, My Soul, In Joyful Lays
