Shake off your guilty fears and rise

He ever lives above for me to intercede

His all-redeeming love his precious blood to plead

His blood atoned for every race

And sprinkles now the throne of grace

Five bleeding wounds he bears, received on Calvary

They pour effectual prayer, they strongly plead for me

"Forgive him, oh forgive!" they cry

"Don’t let the 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
