I Hear Thy Welcome Voice

I hear Thy welcome voice

That calls me, Lord, to Thee

For cleansing in Thy precious blood

That flow'd on Calvary.

Tho' 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 blessed work within,

By adding grace to welcom'd grace,

Where reign'd the pow'r of sin.

And He the witness gives

To loyal hearts and free,

That ev'ry 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.
