Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 888 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears; The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; 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, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me; 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, 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, And Father, Abba Father! cry.

Thine is the pow'r; behold, I sit in willing bonds before thy feet. Scripture: Matthew 6:13 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

Him magnify always, his holy churches all! In him rejoice, and there proclaim his holy name with sounding voice. 5 My soul, bear now your part, triumph in God above; with a well-tuned heart sing now the songs of love; you are his own, whose precious blood shed for your good his love made known. 6 Away, distrustful care! I have your promise, Lord; to banish all despair, I have your oath and word; and therefore I shall see your face and there your grace shall magnify. 7 With your triumphant flock then I shall numbered be; built on th’eternal Rock, his glory we shall see. The heav’ns so high with praise shall ring and all shall sing in harmony. Topics: God His perfections; God Praise of Scripture: Psalm 148 Used With Tune: DARWALL

Those wakeful eyes that never sleep Shall Israel keep when dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there. Thou art my sun, and Thou my shade, To guard my head by night or noon. 4 Hast Thou not giv’n Thy word To save my soul from death? And I can trust my Lord To keep my mortal breath. I’ll go and come, nor fear to die, Till from on high Thou call me home. Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Lord, hear me when I pray, And answer me in grace; Oft as I hear Thee say, Come ye and seek My face, My heart and lips their answer speak, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek. 2. Hide not Thy face from me, In wrath turn not away, My help and Savior be, Forsake me not, I pray; Should father, mother, both forsake, The Lord on me will pity take. 3. Teach me, O Lord, Thy way, Make plain to me my path, Because of foes, I pray, Protect me from their wrath; To false accusers, cruel foes, O Lord, do not my soul expose. 4. Faint-hearted would I be, Didst Thou not promise, Lord, I shall Thy goodness see While Thou dost life accord. Wait on the Lord, nor faint, nor fear, Yea, trust and wait, the Lord is near.
