Trinity Hymnal ‎#406

406. 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 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 heav'n above. [Refrain]

4 'Tis Jesus who confirms
The blessed work within,
By adding grace to welcomed grace,
Where reigned the pow'r of sin. [Refrain]

5 And he the witness gives
To loyal hearts and free,
That ev'ry promise is fulfilled,
If faith but brings the plea. [Refrain]

Amen.
