Arise, my soul, arise (SATB)

Lyrics

Verse 1

A-rise, my soul, a-rise! Shake off your guil-ty fears; The per-fect sac-ri-fice in my be-half ap-pears; Be-fore the throne my Sa-viour stands, Be-fore the throne my Sa-viour stands, My name is writ-ten on His hands.

Verse 2

Five bleed-ing wounds He bears, re-ceived on Cal-va-ry; They pour ef-fect-ual prayers; they strong-ly plead for me: “For give, Fa-ther, for-give,” they cry, “For-give, Fa-ther, for-give,” they cry, “Let not this ran-somed sin-ner die.”

Verse 3

The Fa-ther hears Him pray, His dear an-noint-ed One; He can-not turn a-way the pre-sence of His Son; His Spi-rit an-swers to the blood, His Spi-rit an-swers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God.

Verse 4

My God is re-con-ciled; His pard’-ning voice I hear; He owns me for His child; I can no long-er fear: With con-fi-dence I now draw nigh, With con-fi-dence I now draw nigh, And “Fa-ther, Ab-ba, Fa-ther,” cry.
