Arise, My Soul, Arise

Words: Charles Wesley · Music: Louis Edson, Lowell Mason · 1742

Verse 1
Arise, my soul, arise,
shake off thy guilty fears.
The bleeding Sacrifice
in 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 all our race,
his blood atoned for all our race,
and sprinkles now the throne of grace.

Verse 3
Five bleeding wounds he bears,
received on Calvary;
they pour effectual prayers,
they strongly plead for me.
"Forgive him, oh, forgive," they cry;
"forgive him, oh, forgive," they cry,
"nor let that ransomed sinner die."

Verse 4
The Father hears him pray,
his dear Anointed One;
he cannot turn away
the presence of his Son.
His Spirit answers to the blood,
his Spirit answers to the blood,
and tells me I am born of God.

Verse 5
My God is reconciled,
his pard'ning voice I hear;
he owns me for a child,
I can no longer fear.
With confidence I now draw nigh,
with confidence I now draw nigh,
and "Father, Abba, Father," cry.
