Christ in Song ‎#367

367. His Loving Kindness

1 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!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, etc.

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, O how great!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, etc.

3 Tho' 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, etc.

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, O how good!
Loving kindness, loving kindness,
His loving kindness, etc.
