308.
Tht same.
1 A RISE, my soul, my jeyful 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 hell,
And fix’d ray 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 bless’d 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.
309.
Praise to God for Renewing Grace.
Join me, ye saints, in songs of praise.
For ye have felt and known his grace.
2 Wretched and helpless once I lay,
Just breathing all my life away;
