5 The arms of mighty love
Defend our Sion well,
And heavenly mercy walls us round
From Babylon and hell.
6 Salvation to the King
That sits enthron'd above;
Thus we adore the God of might,
And bless the God of love.
Hymn 2:81.
Our sin the cause of Christ's death.
1 And now the scales have left mine eyes,
Now I begin to see;
O the curs'd deeds my sins have done!
What murderous things they be!
2 Were these the traitors, dearest Lord,
That thy fair body tore?
Monsters, that stain'd those heavenly limbs
With floods of purple gore?
3 Was it for crimes that I had done
My dearest Lord was slain
When justice seiz'd God's only Son,
And put his soul to pain?
4 Forgive my guilt, O Prince of peace,
I'll wound my God no more;
Hence from my heart, ye sins, be gone,
For Jesus I adore.
5 Furnish me, Lord, with heavenly arms
From grace's magazine,
And I'll proclaim eternal war
With every darling sin.
Hymn 2:82.
Redemption and protection from spiritual enemies.
1 Arise my soul, my joyful powers,
And triumph in my God,
Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim
His glorious grace abroad.
