S.M.Ref.

I HEAR Thy welcome voice,

That calls me, Lord, to Thee,

For cleansing in Thy precious blood

That flowed on Calvary.

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.

3

’Tis Jesus calls me on

To perfect faith and love,

To perfect hope, and peace, and trust,

For earth and heaven above.

4

’Tis Jesus who confirms

The blessed work within,

By adding grace to welcomed grace,

Where reigned the power of sin.

5

And He the witness gives

To loyal hearts and free,

That every promise is fulfilled,

If faith but brings the plea.

6

All hail, atoning blood!

All hail, redeeming grace!

All hail, the gift of Christ our Lord,

Our strength and righteousness.
