Redemption and Protection. Ps. 40. 2, 3; 116. 8

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

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

3 The arms of everlasting love
  Beneath my soul he placed,
  And on the Rock of Ages set
  My slippery footsteps fast.

4 The city of my blest abode
  Is walled 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 power.

6 [Arise, my soul! awake my voice,
  And tunes of pleasure sing;
  Loud hallelujahs shall address
  My Saviour and my King.]
