Arise, My Soul! My Joyful Powers

Arise

my soul

my joy­ful pow­ers

And tri­umph in my God;

Awake

my voice

and loud pro­claim

His glo­ri­ous grace abroad.

He raised me from the deeps 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 blessed 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 Sav­ior and my king.
