<td><em>Words:</em> <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_h_a_hartsough_l.html" target="_blank">Lewis Hartsough</a>, 1872; Hartsough wrote this song at a revival meeting in Epworth, Iowa:
<blockquote>
<p>The words and music of this beautiful hymn were first published in a monthly, entitled, <em>Guide to Holiness</em>, a copy of which was sent to me in England. I immediately adopted it, and it had it published in <em>Sacred Songs and Solos</em>. It proved to be one of the most helpful of the revival hymns, and was often used as an invitation hymn in England and America.</p>

<p>I hear Thy welcome voice<br>
That calls me, Lord, to Thee,<br>
For cleansing in Thy precious blood<br>
That flowed on Calvary.</p>

<p class="refrain">I am coming Lord!<br>
Coming now to Thee!<br>
Wash me, cleanse me in the blood<br>
That flowed on Calvary!</p>

<p>Though coming weak and vile,<br>
Thou dost my strength assure;<br>
Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse,<br>
Till spotless all, and pure.</p>

To perfect faith and love,<br>
To perfect hope and peace and trust,<br>
For earth and heav&#8217;n above.</p>

<p>&#8217;Tis Jesus Who confirms<br>
The bless&egrave;d work within,<br>
By adding grace to welcomed grace,<br>
Where reigned the power of sin.</p>

<p>And He the witness gives<br>
To loyal hearts and free<br>
That every promise is fulfilled,<br>
If faith but brings the plea.</p>

<p>All hail! atoning blood!<br>
All hail! redeeming grace!<br>
All hail! the gift of Christ our Lord,<br>
Our Strength and Righteousness.</p>
