3 Offertory: Arise, My Soul, Arise Dan Forrest 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. Five bleeding wounds He bears, received at Calvary, they pour effectual prayers, they strongly plead for me: Forgive him, O, forgive, they cry, nor let that ransomed sinner die. My God is 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.
