1 I wandered in the darkness,
Burdened and oppressed,
But the Savior found me,
Gave me peace and rest.
Now I trust His promise,
Giv’n so full and free,
“Blessed whosoever”
That means me.

Refrain:
That means me,
That means me,
Blessed whosoever,
That means me;
That means me,
That means me,
Blessed whosoever,
That means me.

2 I found the blessed pathway
Leading to the light;
Days of wondrous glory
Followed sin’s dark night
Now with joy I’m telling
Of His grace so free,
“Blessed whosoever”
That means me. [Refrain]

3 I never more will leave Him,
Friend and Savior true,
But thro’ ev’ry moment
Seek His will to do.
Till I shall behold Him,
Confident I’ll be
That His “whosoever”
Does mean me. [Refrain]
