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.
3 ’Tis Jesus who confirms
the blessèd work within,
by adding grace to welcomed grace,
where reigned the power of sin.
4 All hail, atoning blood!
All hail, redeeming grace!
All hail, the gift of Christ our Lord,
our strength and righteousness!
"I Hear Thy Welcome Voice" is a well-known Christian hymn written by Lewis T. Hartsough in 1872. The hymn is an invitation to sinners to come to Jesus for cleansing and salvation, emphasizing God's grace and willingness to forgive. It is often associated with altar calls and revival meetings.
The hymn is deeply rooted in biblical themes, especially from verses like Isaiah 1:18 (KJV):
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
