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.

Verse 3

The arms of everlasting love Beneath my soul he placed, And on the Rock of Ages set My slippery footsteps fast.

Verse 4

The city of my blest abode Is walled around with grace; Salvation for a bulwark stands, To shield the sacred place.

Verse 5

Satan may vent his sharpest spite, And all his legions roar; Almighty mercy guards my life, And bounds his raging power.

Verse 6

Arise, my soul! awake my voice, And tunes of pleasure sing; Loud hallelujahs shall address My Saviour and my King.
