Whosoever will may come and now believe;
Whosoever will may come and life receive;
Whosoever will may come and now be free:
Refrain
Blessèd whosoever, that means me.
Whosoever will may now be free
By a single look to Calvary;
Whosoever will a child of God may be;
Blessèd whosoever, that means me.
Whosoever will may now to Jesus come;
Whosoever will may have in Heav’n a home;
Whosoever will a child of God may be:
Refrain
Whosoever will may come and Christ receive;
Whosoever will may come and drink and live;
Whosoever will may come with just this plea:
Refrain
Whosoever will may to the fountain go;
Whosoever will may be as white as snow;
Whosoever will from death to life may flee:
Refrain
