I Hear Thy Welcome Voice

I hear Thy wel­come voice

That calls me

Lord

to Thee

For cleans­ing in Thy pre­cious blood

That flowed on Cal­va­ry.

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 bless­èd 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.
