Lyrics

1. Arise, my soul, arise,
Shake off thy guilty fears,
The bleeding sacrifice
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my sur'ty stands,
Before the throne my sur'ty stands,
My name is written on his hands.

2. He ever lives above,
For me to intercede,
His allredeeming love,
His precious blood to plead:
His blood atoned for all our race,
His blood atoned for all our race,
And spinkles 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,
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,
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.

5. My God is reconciled,
His pard'ning voice I hear;
He owns me for his child,
I can no longer fear;
With confidence I now draw nigh,
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And Father, Abba Father, cry.
