Awake, my soul, in joyful praise, sing of my great Redeemer’s ways:
He justly claims a song from me, “His loving-kindness set me free!”
Often I feel my sinful heart prone from my Savior to depart;
but though I have Him oft’ forgot, His loving-kindness changes not!
How precious is Your steadfast love, Eternal Lord of all;
in You is life, is true delight; I choose to rest in love.
Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, soon my mortal flesh must fail;
O may my last expiring breath, His loving-kindness sing in death!
Then let me mount and soar away to the bright world of endless day,
and see my Savior’s shining face, His loving-kindness, His embrace!
Let pride not turn my heart from You and Your promises,
I will abide in You alone!
