INTERCESSION OF CHRIST.
5 Jesus alone shall bear our cries
Up to his Father’s throne;
He, dearest Lord, perfumes our sighs,
And sweetens every groan.
6 [Ten thousand praises to the King!
Hosannah in the highest!
Ten thousand thanks our spirits bring
To God and to his Christ!]
93 <>, 8. Lenox.
Pardon through Christ’s blood.
1 A RISE, my soul, arise,
U* Shake oil thy guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifice
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my surety stands.
My name is written on his hands.
2 The bleeding wounds he bears,
Received on Calvary,
Now pour effectual prayers,
And strongly plead for me;
Forgive him, O forgive, they cry,
Nor let that ransomed sinner die!
3 The Father hears him pray,
The dear anointed one;
He cannot turn away
The pleading of his Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
4 To God I’m reconciled,
His pard’ning 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.
