The Loving- Kindness of God.-Ps. xxxvi. 7; Isa. lxiii. 7.

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 loved me notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate; His loving- kindness, O how great! 3[ Though numerous hosts of mighty foes, Though 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 Saviour to depart; But though 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; O may my last expiring breath His loving- kindness sing in death! 7 Then let me mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day, And sing with rapture and surprise, His loving- kindness in the skies.
