Arise, my soul, my joyful powers

Arise, my soul, my joyful powers,
And triumph in my God
Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim
His glorious grace abroad.

He raised me from the deeps of sin,
The gates of gaping hell,
And fixed my standing more secure
Than ’twas before I fell.

The arms of everlasting love
Beneath my soul He placed
And on the Rock of ages set
My slippery footsteps fast.

The city of my blessed abode
Is walled around with grace,
Salvation for a bulwark stands
To shield the sacred place.

Satan may vent his sharpest spite,
And all his legions roar
Almighty mercy guards my life,
And bounds his raging power.

Arise, my soul awake, my voice,
And tunes of pleasure sing
Loud hallelujahs shall address
My Savior and my King.
