9    L.M.     Samuel Medley
The Loving-Kindness of God. Ps. 36. 7

1 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 ruined 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 gathered thick and thundered 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.
