3. Hymn: Arise, My Soul, Arise

Hymn: Arise, My Soul, Arise

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

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.

2. Five bleeding wounds He bears; received on Calvary;
    They pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me:
    “Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,
    “Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,
    “Nor let that ransomed sinner die!”

3. 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.

4. 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,
    With confidence I now draw nigh,
    And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.

1. Hymn: Higher Ground

Hymn: Higher Ground

Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. (1856-1922)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
    New heights I’m gaining ev‵ry day;
    Still praying as I’m onward bound,
    “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain:

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith, on heaven’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay
    Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
    Though some may dwell where these abound,
    My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3. I want to live above the world,
    Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
    For faith has caught a joyful sound,
    The song of saints on higher ground.

4. I want to scale the utmost height,
    And catch a gleam of glory bright;
    But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,
    “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

Hymn: Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Jesus keep me near the cross;
    There a precious fountain,
    Free to all, a healing stream,
    Flows from Calvary’s mountain.

Refrein:

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever,

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
    Love and mercy found me;
    There the bright and morning star
    Sheds its beams around me.

3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
    Bring its scenes before me;
    Help me walk from day to day
    With its shadow o’er me.

4. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
    Hoping, trusting ever,
    Till I reach the golden strand
    Just beyond the river.

(Vocal)

(Sheet Music)

1. Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
    Hear my humble cry;
    While on others thou art smiling,
    Do not pass me by.

Refrein:

Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

2. Let me at a throne of mercy
    Find a sweet relief;
    Kneeling there in deep contrition,
    Help my unbelief.  

3. Trusting only in Thy merit,
    Would I seek Thy face;
    Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
    Save me by Thy grace.  

4. Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
    More than life to me;
    Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
    Whom in heav'n but Thee.

    Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3. Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
    Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
    Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee
    Perfect in pow'r, in love, and purity.  

4. Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
    All thy works shall praise thy Name, in earth and sky and sea;
    Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!
