The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#423

423. I hear thy welcome voice

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 thy 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.

3 Still Jesus calls me on
To perfect faith and love,
To perfect hope and peace and trust
For earth and Heaven above.

4 ‘Tis Jesus who confirms
The blessèd work within,
By adding grace to welcomed grace,
Where reigned the power of sin.

5 And he the witness gives
To loyal hearts and free,
That every promise is fulfilled
If faith but brings the plea.
