"Awake! my soul, in joyful lays"

A hymn by S. Medley

  1. Awake! my soul, in joyful lays,
    And sing thy great Redeemer's praise;
    He justly claims a song from thee —
    His lovingkindness, oh, how free!
  1. He saw me ruined in the fall,
    Yet loved lme, notwithstanding all;
    He saved me from my lost estate —
    His lovingkindness, oh, how great!
  1. Though numerous hosts of mighty foes —
    Though earth and hell my way oppose —
    He safely leads my soul along—
    His lovingkindness, oh, how strong!
  1. When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
    Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
    He, near my soul has always stood —
    His lovingkindness, oh, how good!
  1. Then let me mount and soar away
    To the bright world of endless day,
    And sing with rapture and surprise
    His lovingkindness in the skies
