Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:37

Music: Samuel W. Beazley (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know Strong’s full name, or where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Christ is ready to welcome every needy heart,
Every sinner forgiven may be;
Peace and comfort and gladness He will now impart
Unto all who will answer His plea.
Refrain
When He said Whosoever,
He included you and me,
And I am glad, I am glad;
When He said Whosoever,
He meant all who would be free,
And I am glad, I am glad.
Not alone to the wealthy did the Master speak,
Not alone to the poor who were nigh;
But to all who had wandered
And were lost and weak,
Did His sweet whosoever
apply.
Refrain
Come today with your troubles,
Come with all your sin,
On His love cast your grief and your care;
He is waiting to make you white as snow within,
Waiting now all your burdens to bear.
