Tune: | WELCOME VOICE |
Composer: | Lewis Hartsough, 1828- |
1 I hear Thy welcome voice
That calls me, Lord, to Thee,
For cleansing in Thy precious blood
That flowed on Calvary.
Refrain:
I am coming, Lord!
Coming now to Thee!
Wash me, cleanse me, in the blood
That flowed on Calvary.
2 Though coming weak and vile,
Thou dost my strength assure;
Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse
Till spotless all and pure. [Refrain]
3 'Tis Jesus calls me on
To perfect faith and love,
To perfect hope, and peace, and trust,
For earth and heaven above. [Refrain]
4 'Tis Jesus who confirms
The blessed work within,
By adding grace to welcomed grace,
Where reigned the power of sin. [Refrain]
5 And He the witness gives
To loyal hearts and free,
That every promise is fulfilled,
If faith but brings the plea. [Refrain]
6 All hail, atoning blood!
All hail, redeeming grace!
All hail the gift of Christ our Lord,
Our Strength and Righteousness!
