1. Arise, my soul, arise,Shake off thy guilty fears;The bleeding sacrificeIn my behalf appears;Before the throne my surety stands.My name is written on his hands.
2. He ever lives aboveFor me to intercede;His all-redeeming loveHis precious blood to plead;His blood atoned for all our raceAnd sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3. Five bleeding wounds he bears,Received on Calvary.They pour effectual pray’rs;They strongly plead for me;“Forgive him, oh, forgive!” they cry.“Nor let the ransomed sinner die!”
4. The Father hears him pray,His dear Anointed One;He cannot turn awayFrom his beloved Son;His Spirit answers to the bloodAnd 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.
