Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #163 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from me;
His loving-kindness, oh, how free!
Refrain:
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
His loving kindness, oh, how free!
2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate;
His loving-kindness, oh, how great! [Refrain]
3 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving-kindness, oh, how good! [Refrain]
4 Often I feel my sinful heart
Prone from my Jesus to depart;
But though I have Him oft forgot,
His loving-kindness changes not. [Refrain]
5 When I shall pass death's gloomy vale,
And life and mortal powers must fail,
Oh, may my last expiring breath
His loving-kindness sing in death! [Refrain]
6 Then shall I mount and soar away
To the bright worlds of endless day;
And sing, with rapture and surprise,
His loving-kindness in the skies. [Refrain]
