8934. Rise Every Soul In Jesus' Name

1 Rise every soul in Jesus’ name,
Who after Him aspires;
The wonders of His love proclaim,
And praise Him in the fires.

2 Amidst impending plagues and woes,
Extol His saving power:
Earth hath not yawned on us to close,
Or opened to devour.

3 Howe’er the wisdom of our God
With us tomorrow deal,
We were not yesterday destroyed,
We now are out of hell.

4 Wherefore our lives shall show His praise,
Long as our lives are giv’n,
Or snatched from earth obtain a place
Immoveable in Heav’n.
