Indelible Grace - Arise, My Soul, Arise

This hymn was written by Charles Wesley (1707-1788), brother of the famous Methodist evangelist John Wesley, over 250 years ago in 1742.

The words of this hymn powerfully convey the truth of Romans 8:34 which states: "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."

Ira Sankey records in his book, My Life and the Story of the Gospel Hymns, records the following account of the amazing power of the gospel as articulated in this song: I have a record," said a Wesleyan mis­sion­ary la­bor­ing in the West Indies, "of two hun­dred persons, young and old, who re­ceived the most di­rect ev­i­dence of the forgive­ness of their sins while sing­ing 'Arise, my soul.' The con­ver­sion of the great­er num­ber of these per­sons took place while I was a mis­sion­ary abroad."
