HE INCLUDED ME
"Whosoever will, let him take the free gift of the water of life."
Revelation 22:18
Words: Johnson Oatman, Jr.; first appeared in Hymns of Glory, No. 2
(Atlanta, Georgia: 1914).
Music: Hampton Haygood Sewell, 1909.
I am so happy in Christ today,
That I go singing along my way;
Yes, I'm so happy to know and say,
"Jesus included me, too."
Refrain
Jesus included me, yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me;
Jesus included me, yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me.
Gladly I read, "Whosoever may
Come to the fountain of life today;"
But when I read I always say,
"Jesus included me, too."
Refrain
Ever God's Spirit is saying, "Come!"
Hear the Bride saying, "No longer roam;"
But I am sure while they're calling me home,
Jesus included me, too.
Refrain
"Freely come drink," words the soul to thrill!
O with what joy they my heart do fill!
For when He said, "Whosoever will,"
Jesus included me, too.
