Arise, my soul, arise!
|
|
| 1. | Arise, my soul, arise! |
| | Shake off thy guilty fears; |
| | The bleeding Sacrifice |
| | In my behalf appears. |
| | Before the throne my Surety stands; |
| | My name is written on His hands. |
| 2. | He ever lives above |
| | For me to intercede, |
| | His all-redeeming love, |
| | His precious blood to plead. |
| | His blood was shed for all our race, |
| | And sprinkles now the throne of grace. |
| 3. | Five bleeding wounds He bears, |
| | Received on Calvary; |
| | They pour effectual prayers; |
| | They strongly speak for me. |
| | Forgive him, O forgive, they cry, |
| | Nor let that ransomed sinner die! |
| 4. | The Father hears Him pray, |
| | His dear anointed One; |
| | He cannot turn away |
| | The presence of His Son. |
| | His Spirit answers to the blood, |
| | And tells me I am born of God. |
| 5. | To God I'm reconciled, |
| | His pardoning voice I hear; |
| | He owns me for His child, |
| | I can no longer fear. |
| | With confidence I now draw nigh, |
| | And Father, Abba, Father, cry. |
