• Lyrics:
  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!
  
  Though coming weak and vile,
  Thou dost my strength assure;
  Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse,
  Till spotless all, and pure.
  
  'Tis Jesus calls me on
  To perfect faith and love,
  To perfect hope and peace and trust,
  For earth and Heav'n above.
  
  'Tis Jesus Who confirms
  The blessed work within,
  By adding grace to welcomed grace,
  Where reigned the power of sin.
  
  And He the witness gives
  To loyal hearts and free
  That every promise is fulfilled,
  If faith but brings the plea.
  
  All hail! atoning blood!
  All hail! redeeming grace!
  All hail! the gift of Christ our Lord,
  Our Strength and Righteousness.
