Precious Hymns for Times of Refreshing and Revival ‎#54

54. Assurance

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,
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,
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,
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die,”
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die.”

4 The Father hears his 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,
And tells me I am born of God.

5 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,
And, “Father, Abba, Father,” cry,
And, “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.
