1. “Whosoever heareth,” shout, shout the sound!
Spread the blessed tidings all the world around:
Tell the joyful news wherever man is found,
“Whosoever will may come.”
Refrain
“Whosoever will, whosoever will!”
Send the proclamation over vale and hill;
“Tis a loving Father calls the wand’rer home:
“Whosoever will may come.”
2. “Whosoever cometh need not delay,
Now the door is open, enter while you may;
Jesus is the true, the only Living Way:
“Whosoever will may come.”
3. “Whosoever will” the promise is secure;
“Whosoever will,” forever just endure;
“Whosoever will!” ’tis life forever more;
“Whosoever will may come.”
1. Why do you wait, dear brother,
O why do you tarry so long?
Your Savior is waiting to give you
A place in His sanctified throng.
Refrain
Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?
Why not, why not,
Why not come to Him now?
2. What do you hope, dear brother,
To gain by a further delay?
There’s no one to save you but Jesus,
There’s no other way but His way.
3. Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
O why not accept His salvation
And throw off your burden of sin?
4. Why do your wait, dear brother?
The harvest is passing away;
Your Savior is longing to bless you,
There’s danger and death in delay.
1. When Jesus comes to reward His servants,
Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
Chorus:
Oh, can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul’s bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?
2. If, at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer thee–“Well done”?
3. Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest.
4. Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching,
In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there?
