I Hear Thy Welcome Voice (I am Coming, Lord)

Hymn lyrics and music by Lewis Hartsough

Verse 1

I hear Thy welcome voice

That calls me, Lord, to Thee,

For cleansing in Thy precious blood

That flowed on Calvary.

Chorus

I am coming Lord!

Coming now to Thee!

Wash me, cleanse me in the blood

That flowed on Calvary!

Verse 2

Though coming weak and vile,

Thou dost my strength assure;

Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse,

Till spotless all, and pure.

Chorus

Verse 3

’Tis Jesus calls me on

To perfect faith and love,

To perfect hope and peace and trust,

For earth and Heav’n above.

Chorus

Verse 4

’Tis Jesus Who confirms

The blessed work within,

By adding grace to welcomed grace,

Where reigned the power of sin.

Chorus

Verse 5

And He the witness gives

To loyal hearts and free

That every promise is fulfilled,

If faith but brings the plea.

Chorus

Verse 6

All hail! atoning blood!

All hail! redeeming grace!

All hail! the gift of Christ our Lord,

Our Strength and Righteousness.

Chorus
