Redemption and Protection from Spiritual Enemies

Arise, my soul, my joyful powers,

And triumph in thy God;

Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim

His glorious grace abroad.

He raised me from the depths of sin,

The gates of gaping hell;

And fixed my standing more secure

Than ’twas before I fell.

The arms of everlasting love

Beneath my soul he placed,

And on the Rock of Ages set

My slippery footsteps fast.

The city of my blest abode

Is walled around with grace;

Salvation for a bulwark stands,

To shield the sacred place.

Satan may vent his sharpest spite,

And all his legions roar;

Almighty mercy guards my life,

And bounds his raging power.

[Arise, my soul! awake my voice,

And tunes of pleasure sing;

Loud hallelujahs shall address

My Saviour and my King.]
