Lyrics
Verse 1
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears
The bleeding sacrifice
On my behalf appears
Before the throne my surety stands
Before the throne my surety stands
My name is written on His hands
Verse 2
He ever lives above
For me to intercede
His all redeeming love
His precious blood to plead
His blood atoned for every race
His blood atoned for every race
And sprinkles now the throne of grace
Chorus
O my soul, arise
Behold the risen Christ
Your Great High Priest
Your spotless sacrifice
O my soul, arise
God owns you as His child
Shake off your guilty fears
My soul, arise
Verse 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
"Don't let that ransomed sinner die!"
Verse 4
My God is reconciled
His pard'ning voice I hear
He owns me as His child
I can no longer fear
With confidence I now draw nigh
With confidence I now draw nigh
And "Father, Abba, Father," cry
