Words

Arise, my soul, arise,Shake off thy guilty fears;The bleeding SacrificeIn my behalf appears;Before the throne my Saviour 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 the contrite sinner die!

The Father hears him pray,His dear, anointed One;He cannot turn awayThe presence of his Son;His Spirit answers to the blood,And tells me I'm a child of God.

About this hymn

As printed As printed: running head «CHRIST—MEDIATION AND ATONEMENT.»; hymn number «359» (large), tune name «MURRAY. H. M.» centred over the music (capitals and small capitals), «GERMAN.» at the right (capitals and small capitals: the tune's source). Stanza 1 is interlinear, between the staves, one line per system, with «1.» before «Arise,». Stanzas 2–4 are printed as text in two columns below the music, under the reference line «252, 360, 167.» in italics (= may also be sung to the tunes of hymns 252, 360 or 167); stanza 3 runs from the foot of the left column into the right column. «Charles Wesley.» in italics after stanza 4. The print sets a thin space before «;», «:» and «!» («intercede ;», «Calvary ;», «me :», «forgive !», «die !», «One ;», «Son ;»); it is closed up here. The «e» of «the» in stanza 2 line 6 is a damaged letter (it prints like «thə»); it is the word «the». The stanza numbers of the text columns are printed without a period («2», «3», «4»); they are written «2.» … here, like the interlinear «1.», as in the other deliveries of this book. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
