Arise, My Soul, Arise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Appears in 885 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:5 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 all our race, his blood atoned for all our 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 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. 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.
