Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
Hallelujah!
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise,
Hallelujah!
He justly claims a song from me,
Hallelujah!
His loving kindness Oh! how free!
Hallelujah!
He saw me ruined in the fall,
Hallelujah!
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;
Hallelujah!
He saved me from my lost estate,
Hallelujah!
His loving kindness Oh! how great!
Hallelujah!
Though num’rous hosts of mighty foes,
Hallelujah!
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
Hallelujah!
He safely leads my song along,
Hallelujah!
His loving kindness Oh! how strong!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise,
Hallelujah!
He justly claims a song from me,
Hallelujah!
His loving kindness Oh! how free!
Hallelujah!
He saw me ruined in the fall,
Hallelujah!
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;
Hallelujah!
He saved me from my lost estate,
Hallelujah!
His loving kindness Oh! how great!
Hallelujah!
Though num’rous hosts of mighty foes,
Hallelujah!
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
Hallelujah!
He safely leads my song along,
Hallelujah!
His loving kindness Oh! how strong!
Hallelujah!
