Rise Every Soul in Jesus’ Name

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1750
Composer: Samuel Stanley, ca. 1800

Rise ev­ery soul in Je­sus’ name

Who aft­er Him as­pires;

The won­ders of His love pro­claim

And praise Him in the fires.

Amidst im­pend­ing plagues and woes

Extol His sav­ing pow­er:

Earth hath not yawned on us to close

Or op­ened to de­vour.

Howe’er the wis­dom of our God

With us to­mor­row deal

We were not yes­ter­day de­stroyed

We now are out of hell.

Wherefore our lives shall show His praise

Long as our lives are giv’n

Or snatched from earth ob­tain a place

Immovable in Heav’n.
