243 ARISE MY SOUL ARISE!
[V1]
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

[V2]
He ever lives above,
For me to intercede;
His all redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood was shed for all our race,
His blood was shed for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace
.

Five bleeding wounds he bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers,
They strongly speak of me;
“Forgive him, O, forgive!” they cry,
“Forgive him, O, forgive!” they cry,
“Nor let the contrite sinner die!”

The Father hears him pray, His dear, anointed One;
He would not 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.
