Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: “Whosoever,” saith the Lord Refrain First Line: The word of God hath spoken Lyrics: 1 “Whosoever,” saith the Lord, And pardon for my sins I see; For I believe and trust his word, And “whosoever” must mean me. Refrain: The word of God hath spoken In promises unbroken, And pardon for my sins I see; There’s light on Calv’ry’s mountain, And life in Calv’ry’s fountain, And then there’s “whosoever,” and that means me! 2 Nothing but myself I bring, And of my wins would pardoned be; So, weeping, to thy cross I cling, For “whosoever” must mean me. [Refrain] 3 Should I fail to know his grace, Or turn away from Calv’ry’s tree, I’ll cry, while looking in his face, That “whosoever” still means me. [Refrain] 4 Open then, O pearly gates, And let my ransomed soul come in, My Saviour for my coming waits, His blood has covered all my sin. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [“Whosoever,” saith the Lord]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "Whosoever" in New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
