Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Christ in Song #123 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: Arise, my soul, arise Lyrics: 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.
2 He ever lives above,
For me to intercede;
His all redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood was shed for all our race,
His blood was shed for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3 Five bleeding wounds he bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual pray'rs,
They strongly speak for me:
"Forgive him, O, forgive!" they cry,
"Forgive him, O, forgive!" they cry,
"Nor let the contrite sinner die!"
4 The Father hears him pray,
His dear, anointed One;
He would not 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. Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Christ Christ Mediator; Christ Christ Mediator; Christ Christ Mediator; Christ Christ Mediator Languages: English Tune Title: LENOX
