162. Loving Kindness

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

Refrain:
His loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
His loving-kindness, oh, how free!

2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me, not-withstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate:
His loving kindness, oh, how great! [Refrain]

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

4 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]
