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

There’s mercy with the Lord,
And He will surely give you rest

Plunge now into the crimson flood

Believe in Him without delay
And you are fully blessed.
