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
