Whosoever Shall Call

lyricist: David Moxey, 1896
Composer: Ira Sankey

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord

Whosoever shall call

shall be saved;

O hear the glad mes­sage pro­claimed in the Word

Three times from high Heav­en ’tis waved.

Lord

I call

and I mean it; I call yet again;

I con­fess Thee my Sav­ior and Lord;

As I do so

I’m saved! God says it; Amen!

I be­lieve Him and rest on His Word.

Whosoever means me

who­so­ev­er means you

Whosoever means any­one here;

Then come un­to Him with a pe­ni­tent heart

And call on His name while He’s near.

But how shall I call

then? By faith with thy heart

Unto all who thus call He is nigh;

Nigh to bless

and to save

and His Spir­it im­part

And to calm with His love ev­ery sigh.

And when shall I call? Lo

the mes­sage is Now;

And when will He an­swer my cry?

The dy­ing thief asked Him; the an­swer was Thou

E’en to­day shalt be with Me on high.

Redemption is fin­ished—you’ve on­ly to ask;

All the do­ing the Sav­ior hath done;

Then be­lieve

and re­ceive what your Fa­ther be­stows

Thro’ the won­der­ful gift of His Son.
