About this Hymn
Part of the wonder of Jesus' work of salvation is in the way he serves as both the sacrificial lamb and the high priest who appears before the Father to plead for mercy on our behalf, appealing to his own blood. Through this mediation we find reconciliation with a holy God, and, more than that, we are claimed as his children.
Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
He ever lives above, for me to intercede; his all-redeeming love, his precious blood to plead. His blood atoned for all our race, his blood atoned for all our race, and sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Verse 3
Five bleeding wounds he bears, received on Calvary; they pour effectual prayers, they strongly plead for me. "Forgive him, oh, forgive," they cry; "forgive him, oh, forgive," they cry, "nor let that ransomed sinner die."
Verse 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.
Verse 5
My God is reconciled, his pard'ning voice I hear; he owns me for a child, I can no longer fear. With confidence I now draw nigh, with confidence I now draw nigh, and "Father, Abba, Father," cry.
