Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #236 (1972) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Scripture: Romans 8:15 Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise,
Shake off thy guilty fears;
A 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 Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual pray'rs,
They strongly speak for me;
Forgive him, Oh! forgive, they cry,
Forgive him, Oh! forgive, they cry,
Nor let the ransomed sinner die.
3 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. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Salvation Adoption Languages: English Tune Title: LENOX
