Awake, each saint,
in joyful lays,
To sing the great
Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims
a song from thee:
His loving-kindness,
oh how free!
He saw us ruined
in the fall,
Yet loved us
notwithstanding all:
He saved us from
our lost estate:
His loving-kindness,
oh how great!
Though numerous hosts
of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell,
our way oppose,
He safely leads
His saints along:
His loving-kindness,
oh how strong!
When trouble,
like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick,
and thundered loud,
He with His Church
has always stood;
His loving-kindness,
oh how good!
Soon shall we mount
and soar away
To the bright realms
of endless day,
And sing with
rapture and surprise
His loving-kindness
in the skies.
