Rise From thy Stupor

Author: Carl Olaf Rosenius, 1816-1868 Meter: 10.10.5.5.10 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Rise from thy stupor, heart so uneasy Lyrics: 1 Rise from thy stupor, heart so uneasy; Why so completely forget what thou hast? Christ is forever Thy loving Saviour, He's still the same as He was in the past. 2 Pause and consider, earnestly ponder What thou possessest in Him, not in thee; Righteous and holy, Perfect most truly, Art thou in Christ, who from sin sets us free. 3 Though thou at times can not feel it, nor see it, Though so unholy and sinful within, Jesus hath bought thee, And mercy brought thee, And still upholds thee, and save thee from sin. 4 Right in the midst of sin's daily affliction, Justification eternal thou hast. That thou are holy Thou ow'st Him solely, Him upon whom all thy burdens were cast. 5 God is in Christ now thy Friend and thy Father: Jesus thy Brother on Calvary died; And by His merit Has sent His Spirit, To be thy Strength, and thy Comfort, and Guide. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: ÄNGSLIGA HJÄRTA, UPP UR DIN DVALA

Amen. Topics: New Year Used With Tune: HEBRON

Tell me that story always, If you would really be, In any time of trouble, A comforter to me.
