The Psalms of David ‎#II.LXXXII

II.LXXXII. Arise, my Soul, my joyful Pow'rs

1 Arise, my Soul, my joyful Pow'rs,
And triumph in my 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 Jell,
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 blest 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.
