Bible passages: Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2
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 allredeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood for sin did once atone, His blood for sin did once atone, And now it pleads before the Throne.
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. I now am reconciled; God’s pard’ning 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.
