The Loving-kindness of the Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,055 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 63:7 First Line: Awake, my soul, in joyful lays Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great redeemer’s praise, He justly claims a song from me, His loving-kindness O how free! 2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall, Yet lov'd me not withstanding all; He sav'd me from my lost estate, His loving-kindness O how great! 3 Tho' numerous hosts of mighty foes, Tho' earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along, His loving-kindness O how strong! 4 When trouble like a gloomy cloud, Has gather'd thick, and thunder'd loud, He near my soul has always stood, His loving-kindness O how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my Jesus to depart; But tho' I have him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; Oh! may my last expiring breath, His loving-kindness sing in death. 7 Then let me mount and soar away, To the bright worlds of endless day, And sing with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

Hymn 29

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 63:4-7 First Line: I lift my banner, saith the Lord Lyrics: "I lift my banner," saith the Lord, "Where Antichrist has stood; The city of my gospel foes Shall be a field of blood. "My heart has studied just revenge, And now the day appears; The day of my redeemed is come To wipe away their tears. "Quite weary is my patience grown, And bids my fury go; Swift as the lightning it shall move, And be as fatal too. "I call for helpers, but in vain; Then has my gospel none? Well, mine own arm has might enough To crush my foes alone. "Slaughter and my devouring sword Shall walk the streets around, Babel shall reel beneath my stroke, And stagger to the ground." Thy honors, O victorious King! Thine own right hand shall raise, While we thy awful vengeance sing, And our deliv'rer praise.
