Arise, my soul, arise!
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice
In my behalf appears.
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 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 for me.
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.
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.

To God I'm reconciled,
His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear.
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And Father, Abba, Father, cry.

Brothers, in the hymnal there are 2 tunes to this hymn, and I've never heard it sung to the 1st one (the one linked here). I'm sure it is because the 1st tune is more difficult to follow and sing (especially because of the embellishments). The easier 2nd tune enables one to focus more on the wonderful words. Perhaps you can provide both tunes? Much grace to you.

Are you sure this is the right tune? It does not seem to match the meter of the song or the length of a stanza.

This is such a beautiful song. Everything makes sense, plus the rhyming makes it sound so awsome! It feels me up with feelings of joy and happiness!
