Arise, My Soul, Arise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Appears in 888 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 7:25 Lyrics: 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. 2 He ever lives above, for me to intercede, his all-redeeming love, his precious blood to plead; his blood atoned for ev'ry race, his blood atoned for ev'ry race, and sprinkles now the throne of grace. 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!" 4 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, with confidence I now draw nigh, and "Father, Abba, Father!" cry.

All your people are forgiven through the virtue of your blood; opened is the gate of heaven; we are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side.

The intercession of Christ

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 261 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 7:25 First Line: He lives, the great redeemer lives Lyrics: 1 He lives, the great redeemer lives, (What joy the blest assurance gives!) And now before his father God, Pleads the full merits of his blood. 2 Repeated crimes awake our fears, And justice arm'd with frowns appears; But in the savior's lovely face Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace. 3 Hence then, ye black despairing thoughts, Above our fears, above our faults His powerful intercessions rise And guilt recedes, and terror dies. 4 In every dark distressful hour, When sin and satan join their power; Let this dear hope repel the dart, That Jesus bears us on his heart. 5 Great advocate, almighty friend— On him our humble hopes depend; Our cause can never, never fail, For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.

Hymn 145

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 7 First Line: Jesus, in thee our eyes behold Lyrics: Jesus, in thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more, Than the rich gems and polished gold The sons of Aaron wore. They first their own burnt-offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all thy nature clean. [Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt.] [Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never-changing office stands Eternal as thy days.] [Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: But Christ, by his own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows his own sacrifice.] Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion's heav'nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears his priesthood still. He ever lives to intercede Before his Father's face: Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father's grace.

For lo! Between our sins and their reward we set the passion of thy Son our Lord. 3 And then for those, our dearest and our best, by this prevailing presence we appeal: O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast; O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal; from tainting mischief keep them pure and clear, and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere. 4 And so we come: O draw us to thy feet, most patient Saviour, who canst love us still; and by this food, so awesome and so sweet, deliver us from every touch of ill. In thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee. Topics: Eucharist; Eucharist; Forgiveness; Love; Prayer; Sunday of the Passion Used With Tune: UNDE ET MEMORES
