1 I hear Your welcome voice
that calls me by Your will,
for cleansing in Your precious blood
that flowed on Calvary's hill.

Refrain
I am coming, Lord,
coming by Your will:
wash me, cleanse me, by the blood
that flowed on Calvary's hill.

2 ’Tis Jesus calls me on
to perfect faith and love,
to perfect hope, and peace, and trust,
for earth and heaven above. [Refrain]

3 ’Tis Jesus who confirms
the blessèd work within,
by adding grace to welcomed grace,
where reigned the power of sin. [Refrain]

4 All hail, atoning blood!
All hail, redeeming grace!
All hail, the gift of Christ our Lord,
our strength and righteousness! [Refrain]
