Tune:[I hear thy welcome voice]
Composer:Hartsough

68. I am Coming, Lord

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 Tho' 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 heaven above. [Refrain]

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

5 All hail! atoning blood!
All hail! redeeming grace!
All hail! the gift of Christ, our Lord.
Our Strength and Righteousness. [Refrain]
