  1. 1Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
  2. And sing thy great Redeemer's praise:
  3. He justly claims a song from thee,
  4. His loving kindness, O how free!
  5. Loving kindness, loving kindness,
  6. His loving kindness, O how free!
  7. 2He saw me ruined in the fall,
  8. Yet loved me not-withstanding all;
  9. He saved me from my lost estate;
  10. His loving kindness, O how great!
  11. Loving kindness, loving kindness,
  12. His loving kindness, O how great!
  13. 3Though num'rous hosts of mighty foes,
  14. Tho' earth and hell my way oppose,
  15. He safely leads my soul along,
  16. His loving kindness, O how strong!
  17. Loving kindness, loving kindness,
  18. His loving kindness, O how strong!
  19. 4When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
  20. Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
  21. He near my soul has always stood;
  22. His loving kindness, O how good!
  23. Loving kindness, loving kindness,
  24. His loving kindness, O how good!
  25. 5Often I feel my sinful heart
  26. Prone from my Savior to depart;
  27. But though I oft have Him forgot,
  28. His loving kindness changes not.
  29. Loving kindness, loving kindness,
  30. His loving kindness changes not.
