Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #II.LXXXII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books First Line: Arise, my soul, my joyful pow'rs Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, my joyful pow'rs,
And triumph in thy 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 slipp'ry 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 pow'r.
6 Arise, my soul! awake, my voice,
And tunes of pleasure sing;
Loud hallelujahs shall address
My saviour and my King.
