Lyrics Whoever receiveth the Crucified One, Whoever believeth on God's only Son, A free and a perfect salvation shall have, For He is abundantly able to save. Whoever receiveth the Message of God, And trust in the power of the soul-cleansing Blood, A full and eternal redemption shall have, For He is both able and willing to save. Whoever repents and forsakes ev'ry sin, And opens his heart for the Lord to come in, A present and perfect salvation shall have, For Jesus is ready this moment to save. Chorus: My Brother, the Master is calling for thee, His grace and His mercy are wondrously free; His Blood as a ransom for sinners He gave, And He is abundantly able to save.
