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.
