E50. I Hear Thy Welcome Voice

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 Though 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 heav'n above. [Refrain]

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

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