Arise My Soul, Arise

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

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

He ever lives above
For me to intercede
His all redeeming love
His precious blood, to plead
His blood atoned for every race
His blood atoned for every race
And sprinkles now the throne of grace

Five bleeding wounds he bears
Received on calvary
They pour effectual prayers
They strongly plead 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
The spirit answers to the blood
The spirit answers to the blood
And tells me I am born of god

5. My god is reconciled
His pardoning 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
