Awake, My Soul, To Joyful Lays,
And Sing Thy Great Redeemer’s Praise;
He Justly Claims A Song From Me
His Loving-Kindness, O How Free!
He Saw Me Ruined In The Fall,
Yet Loved Me Notwithstanding All;
He Saved Me From My Lost Estate
His Loving-Kindness, O How Great!
Though Numerous Hosts Of Mighty Foes,
Though Earth And Hell My Way Oppose,
He Safely Leads My Soul Along
His Loving-Kindness, O How Strong!
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!
Often I Feel My Sinful Heart
Prone From My Jesus To Depart;
But Though I Have Him Oft Forgot,
His Loving-Kindness Changes Not.
Soon I Shall Pass The Gloomy Vale,
Soon All My Mortal Powers Must Fail;
O May My Last Expiring Breath
His Loving-Kindness Sing In Death.
Then Let Me Mount And Soar Away
To The Bright World Of Endless Day;
And Sing With Raptures And Surprise,
His Loving-Kindness In The Skies.
Awake My Soul To Joyful Lays Title, Awake My Soul To Joyful Lays Title, Awake My Soul To Joyful Lays Title, Awake My Soul To Joyful Lays Lyrics
