Awake, my soul, in joyful lays

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,078 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to 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 ruin'd in the fall, Yet lov'd me, notwithstanding all; He sav'd me from my lost estate, His loving-kindness, O how great! 3 Though num'rous 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 gather'd thick and thunder'd loud, He near my soul has always stood, His loving-kindness, O how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus 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 worlds of endless day, And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies. Scripture: Psalm 63:7

Come, see, ye worms, your Maker die, And say, was ever grief like his? Come, feel with me his blood applied; My Lord, my Love, is crucified: 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God: Believe, believe the record true, Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from his side: My Lord, my love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, And gladly catch the healing stream: All things for him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to him; Of nothing think or speak beside, The Lord, my Love is crucified.

Scripture: Leviticus 16:9

Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 3 O the length and breadth of love! Jesus, Saviour, can it be! All thy mercy's height I prove, All the depth is seen in me. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 4 See a bush, that burns with fire, Unconsum'd amid the flame! Turn aside the sight t'admire, I the living wonder am. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 5 See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live! Kept alive with death so near, I to God the glory give: Ever tell--to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell!
