LXXXII. Celebrating the loving-kindness of the Lord

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

2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall
Yet lov'd notwithstanding all,
He sav'd me from my lost estate,
His loving kindness is so great.

3 When I was satan's easy prey,
And deep in debt and bondage lay,
He paid his life for my discharge,
His loving kindness is so large.

4 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.

5 When earthly friends forsake me quite,
And I have neither skill nor might,
He's sure my helper to appear,
His loving kindness is so near.

6 Often I feel my sinful heart
Prone from my Jesus to depart,
And tho' I oft have him forgot,
His loving kindness changes not.
