Awake, my soul, to joyous lays

Author: Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,061 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:43 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing the great Redeemer's praise; He justly claims a song from me-- His loving-kindness, oh, 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, oh, 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, oh, 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, oh, how good! 5 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; Oh, may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death!

When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Addison Appears in 1,011 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:43 Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 2 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Topics: General Praise; Gratitude
