271. Awake, my soul, to joyful lays

1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me,
His loving-kindness is so free;
Loving-kindness, Loving-kindness,
His loving-kindness is so free.

2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me not withstanding all,
And saved me from my lost estate,
His loving-kindness is so great;
Loving-kindness, Loving-kindness,
His loving-kindness is so great.

3 Thro' mighty hosts of cruel foes,
Where earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along,
His loving-kindness is so strong;
Loving-kindness, Loving-kindness,
His loving-kindness is so strong.
