Hymn 566
Awake my soul and rise with joy
Ji, ọkàn mi, dide layọ̀
- Awake my soul and rise with joy,
Oh sing praises to thy Saviour;
His grace and glory opens my song,
How great is His love and kindness! - He knows I am lost when I fall,
Yet His love to me is complete;
He has saved me from afflictions;
How great is His love and kindness! - Darts from my foes at me are hurled,
World and Satan stand in my way;
Graciously He had led me through;
How great is His love and kindness! - When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving kindness, oh, how good! - This weak heart of mine is always,
Transgressing the laws of the Lord,
The more I tend to forgot Him,
His endless love will never fail! - So when I pass death's gloomy vale,
And life and mortal pow'rs shall fail,
O may my last expiring breath
His loving kindness sing in death. - Now let me rise to heights above
Unto perpetual land of light;
In wondrous joy to sing His praise,
His loving kindness, o'er in Heaven. Amen.
