Arise My Soul (11 AM, webcast)

Arise my Soul, Arise --arr. Dan Forrest Sanctuary Choir Rodica Gonzalez, Violin Dr. Terry Morris, Director of Music Dr. John Gearhart, Organist First United Methodist, Downtown, Houston Tx October 22, 2017 This anthem is dedicated to Rebecca Holland by Ryan Willis for all she does for the FMH music ministry. 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 on 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 voice I hear, He owns His child. I can no longer fear. With confidence I now draw nigh, And “Abba, Father,” cry. Arise, my soul, arise.
