Representative Text

1 Rise, my Soul! behold ‘tis Jesus,
Jesus fills Thy wond’ring eyes;
See Him now in glory seated,
Where thy sins no more can rise.

Refrain:
All Thy sins were laid upon Him,
Jesus bore them on the tree;
God, who knew them, laid them on Him,
And, believing, thou art free.

2 There in righteousness transcendent,
Lo! He doth in Heav’n appear,
Shows the blood of His atonement
As thy title to be there. [Refrain]

3 God now brings thee to His dwelling,
Spreads for thee His feast divine,
Bids thee welcome, ever telling
What a portion there is thine. [Refrain]

4 In that circle of God’s favor,
Circle of the Father’s love,
All is rest, and rest forever,
All is perfectness above. [Refrain]

5 Blessed, glorious word “forever”—
Yes, “forever” is the word;
Nothing can the ransomed sever,
Naught divide them from the Lord. [Refrain]
