Whosoever Cometh

Verse 1

Today the saints in Zion Are watching for their King; Today to weary nations The gospel we may bring; Yet for the world’s Redeemer They perish all about; Tho’ whosoever cometh, He never will cast out.

Chorus

O sweet and blessed story! The joyful tidings shout— That whosoever cometh, He never will cast out.

Verse 2

Can we at ease in Zion In calm contentment wait The herald’s joyful tidings— “The King is at the gate!” When those who never knew Him Must tremble at the shout; Tho’ whosoever cometh, He never will cast out.

Verse 3

Can we go forth to meet Him With feelings undismayed, Who never sought the wand’rer, Who from the fold had strayed; Who never told the message To Christless ones without, That whosoever cometh, He never will cast out.

Verse 4

From ignorance and blindness, And from the doom of sin, To light and life eternal Compel them to come in! And by the Gospel message The hosts of darkness rout; For whosoever cometh, He never will cast out.
