Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #138 (1917) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church 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 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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GODRIC
Arise, my soul, arise
