118. Awake, Each Saint, in Joyful Lays | L.M. |
| by Medley, 1785 |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | Awake, each saint, in joyful lays, | Psalm 92:1-2 |
| To sing the great Redeemer's praise; |
| He justly claims a song from thee: |
| His loving-kindness, oh how free! |
|
| 2 | He saw us ruined in the fall, | Jeremiah 31:3; Psalm 36:5-7 |
| Yet loved us notwithstanding all; |
| He saved us from our lost estate: |
| His loving-kindness, oh how great! |
|
| 3 | Though numerous hosts of mighty foes, | Psalm 17:7 |
| Though earth and hell our way oppose; |
| He safely leads His saints along: |
| His loving-kindness, oh how strong! |
|
| 4 | When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, | Psalm 63:1-3 |
| Has gathered thick, and thundered loud; |
| He with His church has always stood: |
| His loving-kindness, oh how good! |
|
| 5 | Soon shall we mount and soar away |
| To the bright realms of endless day, |
| And sing with rapture and surprise |
| His loving-kindness in the skies. |
