ADORATION AND PRAISE.
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.
7 Arise, my soul, awake, my voice,
And tunes of pleasure sing ;
Loud hallelujahs shall address
My Saviour and my King.

God's dominion and decrees.
1 |Z EEP silence, all created things,
And wait your Maker’s nod ;
My soul stands trembling while she sings
The honors of her God.
2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown
Hang on his firm decree ;
He sits on no precarious throne,,
Nor borrows leave to be.
