Arise My Soul, Arise

Arise, my soul, arise;
Shake off the guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice (Jn 1:29)
In my behalf appears: (What's that called?) (See 1 Cor 15:3, 1 Cor 11:24-26 - huper/hyper)
Before the throne my Surety stands,
Before the throne my Surety stands:  (In finance a surety involves promise by one party to assume responsibility for debt of a borrower if borrower defaults)
My name is written on His hands. (Isa 49:15, John 20:25 Rev 5:6) (Jer 34:18-20)

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

He ever lives above,
For me to intercede, (Heb 7:25, Ro 8:34)
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead; (1 Pe 1:13-19)
His blood atoned for all our race,
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Five bleeding wounds He bears, (Isaiah 53:5, Zech 13:7, 1 Pe 2:24-25)
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual pray'rs,
They strongly plead for me:
"Forgive him, O forgive, " they cry,
"Forgive him, O forgive, " they cry,
"Nor let that ransomed sinner die!"

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

My God is reconciled; (2 Cor 5:18-21)
His pard'ning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child;
I can no longer fear; (1 John 4:16-18, 2 Ti 1:7, Lk 1:74)
With confidence I now draw nigh, (Heb 4:16, Heb 10:19-24)
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And, "Father, Abba, Father, " cry. (Mk 14:36, Ro 8:15, Gal 4:6)

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise.
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Ira Sankey records in his book, My Life and the Story of the Gospel Hymns, the following account of the amazing power of the gospel as articulated in this song: "I have a record," said a Wesleyan mis­sion­ary la­bor­ing in the West Indies, "of two hun­dred persons, young and old, who re­ceived the most di­rect ev­i­dence of the forgive­ness of their sins while sing­ing 'Arise, my soul.' The con­ver­sion of the great­er num­ber of these per­sons took place while I was a mis­sion­ary abroad.

"This hymn has extensive anecdotal history, but the most picturesque story recorded is that of its connection with a Patagonian missionary expedition which ended disastrously for all concerned. The company was wiped out by violence and disease, and the captain of the ship upon which the company had embarked wrote in his diary, Sept. 6, 1851: 'I neither hunger nor thirst, though five days without food. Marvelous loving kindness to me, a sinner.' This Captain Gardiner and John Babcock were almost the only ones left of the expedition. Babcock died first, and he asked the survivors to sing this hymn. That expedition was the direct means of establishing the first Terre del Fuegan missions."
