Arise, My Soul, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Appears in 885 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:42 Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise, shake off your 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.
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.
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,
“nor let that ransomed sinner die.”
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.
5 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,
with confidence I now draw nigh,
and, “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.

O sacred head sore wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; James Waddell Alexander, 1804-59 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 726 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:61-65 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head sore wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down;
O kingly head surrounded
with thorns your only crown;
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays;
yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.

The Day of Resurrection
Author: John M. Neale; John of Damascus, 8th century Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 518 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:15-16 First Line: The day of resurrection! Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over
With hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection light;
And, list'ning to His accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All hail!" and, hearing,
May raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heav'ns be joyful!
Let earth her song begin!
The world resound in triumph,
And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes of gladness blend;
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Our joy that hath no end.
Amen.

The Day of Resurrection
In evil long I took delight
Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 328 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:61-62 Lyrics: 1 In evil long I took delight,
Unawed by shame or fear,
Till a new object struck my sight,
And stopped my wild career.
2 I saw One hanging on a tree,
In agony and blood;
Who fixed his languid eyes on me,
As near the cross I stood.
3 Sure never, till my latest breath,
Can I forget that look;
It seemed to charge me with his death,
Though not a word he spoke.
4 Alas! I knew not what I did,
But all my tears were vain;
Where could my trembling soul be hid?
For I the Lord had slain.
5 A second look he gave, that said,
I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid,--
I did that thou mayst live.
