Sheet music
- 1Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,And sing the great Redeemer’s praise;He justly claims a song from me–His loving-kindness, O how free!Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,His loving-kindness, O how free!
- 2He saw me ruined in the fall,Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;He saved me from my lost estate–His loving-kindness, O how great!Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,His loving-kindness, O how great!
- 3When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,Has gathered thick and thundered loud,He near my soul has always stood–His loving-kindness, O how good!Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,His loving-kindness, O how good!
