1 Arise, my gracious God,
And make the wicked flee:
They are but thy chastning rod
To drive thy saints to thee.
2 Behold the sinner dies,
His haughty words are vain;
Here in this life his pleasure lies,
And all beyond is pain.
3 Then let his pride advance,
And boast of all his store;
The Lord is my inheritance,
My soul can wish no more.
4 I shall behold the face
Of my forgiving God;
And stand complete in righteousness,
Wash'd in my Saviour's blood.
5 There's a new heaven begun
When I awake from Death,
Drest in the likeness of thy Son,
And draw immortal breath.
