Lewis Hartsough gets credit for the words and music to
this hymn, but listeners may find the tune oddly
familiar. Especially if they’ve heard Jesus Paid It
All. Considering that the music to Jesus Paid It all
was written in 1868, and this hymn was written and
composed in 1872, Hartsough might have had help. No
matter how original it is, though, Hartsough’s
arrangement is a nice one in itself, and I hope you
enjoy this piano version!

1. I hear Thy welcome voice
That calls me, Lord, to Thee
For cleansing in Thy precious blood
That flowed on Calvary.
2. Though I come 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 heav’n above.
4. ‘Tis Jesus Who confirms
The blessed work within,
By adding grace to welcomed grace,
Where reigned the pow’r of sin.
5. And He the witness gives
To loyal hearts and free,
That ev’ry promise is fulfilled,
If faith but brings the plea.
Chorus: I am coming, Lord,
Coming now to Thee:
Wash me, cleanse me in the blood
That flowed on Calvary.
