101. Wonderful Words of Jesus

1 Whosoever will come to me,—
Wonderful words of Jesus!—
Shall not perish, but saved shall be;—
Wonderful words of Jesus!

Refrain:
Whosoever will now believe,
Whosoever will Christ receive,
Whosoever will look, shall live;—
Wonderful words of Jesus!

2 Whosoever! O there I cling,
Trusting alone in Jesus;
There my comfort and help I bring,
Trusting alone in Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Whosoever athirst may be,
Come with thy heart to Jesus;
Drink the water of life so free,
Come with thy heart to Jesus. [Refrain]

4 Whosoever will faithful prove,
Doing the will of Jesus,
Life eternal shall reap above,
Hid in the life of Jesus. [Refrain]
