First Line: Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer's praise ;
He justly claims a song from me :
His loving-kindness, oh, how free !

2 He saw me ruined by the Fall,
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all ;
He saved me from my lost estate :
His loving-kindness, oh, how great !

3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along :
His loving-kindness, oh, how strong !
