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.
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.
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.

I thank God for hymns like these that remind us that our acceptance with God depends on our faith in what Jesus has done for us on the cross. God is pleased to look at Him and pardons me. Thank God.

This hymn does not mention sin, although it is sin that we are guilty of (verse 1).
I like this hymn as it refers to the gospel, but the gospel itself is that we repent of our sins and believe that the sinless Lord Jesus died on the cross, taking away our sins with our guilt and punishment, and that He rose again.
If we repent and believe the gospel, we shall be saved, born again, and go to Heaven (Mark 1 verse 4, John 3 verse 16, Romans 10 verse 9, John 3 verse 3, John 14 verses 1 to 6).

I’m glad you changed the wording of the last verse. Which originally was My God is reconciled. God did not need to be reconciled. To God I'm reconciled.

If you click on the lead sheet on the left, e.g. PIANO, you would see how the words match the music. At first I too was a bit confused.
