**“Arise, My Soul, Arise”**
 By Charles Wesley, 1742

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.

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.

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!”

The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One;
 He cannot turn away the presence
of His Son; The Spirit answers to the blood, The Spirit answers to the blood And
tells me I am born of God.

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.
