- 1Arise, my soul, my joyful powers,
- And triumph in thy God;
- Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim
- His glorious grace abroad.
- 2He raised me from the depths of sin,
- The gates of gaping hell;
- And fixed my standing more secure
- Than ’twas before I fell.
- 3The arms of everlasting love
- Beneath my soul he placed,
- And on the Rock of Ages set
- My slippery footsteps fast.
- 4The city of my blest abode
- Is walled around with grace;
- Salvation for a bulwark stands,
- To shield the sacred place.
- 5Satan may vent his sharpest spite,
- And all his legions roar;
- Almighty mercy guards my life,
- And bounds his raging power.
- 6[Arise, my soul! awake my voice,
- And tunes of pleasure sing;
- Loud hallelujahs shall address
- My Saviour and my King.]
