Ixiii. 7. 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 ruin'd in the fall, Yet lov'd me notwithstanding all; He sav'd 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 gather'd thick, and thunder'd loud, He near my soul has always stood, His loving-kindness, Oh, how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my Jesus to depart; But though I have him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, HYMN 10.
