Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXVII (1766) Lyrics: 1 Stand up, my Soul, shake off thy Fears,
And gird the Gospel Armour on;
March to the Gates of endless Joy,
Where thy great Captain Saviour's gone.
2 Hell and thy Sins resist thy Course,
But Hell and Sins are vanquish'd Foes;
Thy Jesus nail'd them to the Cross,
And sung the Triumph when he rose.
3 What though the Prince of Darkness rage,
And waste the Fury of his Spite;
Eternal Chains confine him down
To fiery Deeps, and endless Night.
4 What though thine inward Lusts rebel;
'Tis but a struggling Gasp for Life;
The Weapons of victorious Grace
Shall slay thy Sins, and end the Strife.
5 Then let my Soul march boldly on,
Press forward to the heav'nly Gate;
There Peace and Joy eternal reign,
And glitt'ring Robes for Conqu'rors wait.
6 There shall I wear a starry Crown,
And triumph in Almighty Grace;
While all the Armies of the Skies
Join in my glorious Leader's Praise. Topics: Spiritual Warfare Languages: English
