Arise, My Soul, Arise

Verse 1
Arise, my soul, arise, (Eph. 5:14)
Shake off thy guilty fears,
The bleeding sacrifice (Heb. 9:12-14)
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my surety stands; (Heb. 7:22, Heb. 8:1)
My name is written on his hands. (Isa. 49:16)

Verse 2
He ever lives above
For me to intercede, (Heb. 7:25, Rom. 8:34, I John 2:1)
His all-redeeming love,
His pretious blood to plead; (I Pet. 1:19)
His blood aton’d for all our race, (I John 2:2)
And sprinkles now the throne of grace. (Heb. 12:24)

Verse 3
Five bleeding wounds he bears, (John 20:27)
Receiv’d on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers, (James 5:16)
They strongly speak for me; (Heb. 12:24)
Forgive him, O forgive, they cry, (Luke 23:34)
Nor let that ransom’d 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, (I John 5:6-8)
And tells me, I am born of God. (Rom. 8:16)

Verse 5
My God is reconcil’d, (Rom. 5:10, II Cor. 5:18-19)
His pard’ning voice I hear,
He owns me for his child,
I can no longer fear; (I John 4:18, Rom. 8:15)
With confidence I now draw nigh, (Heb. 4:16, Heb. 10:19-22)
And Father, Abba Father, cry! (Rom. 8:15-16, Gal. 4:6)
