Lyrics

Verse 1 Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy 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. Verse 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, His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. Verse 3 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! Verse 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. Verse 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.
