6.6.6.6.8.8 Tunes1.
Arise, my soul, arise,
Shake off my 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 atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3.
Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Receiv’d on Calvary;
They pour effectual pray’r
They strongly plead for me;
“Forgive him, oh, forgive,” they cry,
“Nor let that ransom’d sinner die”.
4.
The Father hears Him pray,
His dear Anointed One:
His cannot turn away
The presence of His Son:
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,
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.
Amen
