1 Arise my soul, my joyful powers, And triumph in my God, Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim His glorious grace abroad.
2 He rais'd me from the deeps of sin, The gates of gaping hell, And fix'd my standing more secure Than 'twas before I fell.
3 The arms of everlasting love Beneath my soul he plac'd, And on the rock of ages set My slippery footsteps fast.
4 The city of my bless'd abode Is wall'd around with grace Salvation for a bulwark stands To shield the sacred place.
5 Satan 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.
