  1. 1And can I yet delay
  2. My little all to give?
  3. To tear my soul from earth away
  4. For Jesus to receive?
  5. I am coming, Lord,
  6. Coming now to thee;
  7. Wash me, cleanse me in the blood
  8. That flowed on Calvary.
  9. 2Nay, but I yield, I yield;
  10. I can hold out no more:
  11. I sink, by dying love compell'd,
  12. And own thee conqueror.
  13. I am coming, Lord,
  14. Coming now to thee;
  15. Wash me, cleanse me in the blood
  16. That flowed on Calvary.
  17. 3Though late, I all forsake;
  18. My friends, my all, resign:
  19. Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
  20. And seal me ever thine.
  21. I am coming, Lord,
  22. Coming now to thee;
  23. Wash me, cleanse me in the blood
  24. That flowed on Calvary.
  25. 4Come, and posses me whole,
  26. Nor hence again remove;
  27. Settle and fix my wav'ring soul
  28. With all thy weight of love.
  29. I am coming, Lord,
  30. Coming now to thee;
  31. Wash me, cleanse me in the blood
  32. That flowed on Calvary.
