No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus Words and music by Charles F. Weigle lsiritten in 1932, this song has be- '* c om e a favorite with gospel sing ers and radio soloists, several broad casters reporting that requests for it outnumber requests for any other special gospel song. Its use has been particularly effective in jails, mis sions and street meetings. In a single year 73 inmates of a certain prison were converted through the song’s message. A young man, sentenced to be electrocuted, heard it sung while in a Media, Pa. jail and ac cepted Christ. While awaiting execu tion he sang it day and night. On the day of his death he came from the cell singing at the top of his voice, “No one ever cared for me like Jesus, There’s no other friend so kind as He”—having a profound effect upon inmates and warden alike. Weigle was bom in Lafayette, Ind. After studying at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music he became an evangelistic singer, later feeling the call to preach. For many years he toured the country— singing, preach ing, composing music and writing books. He now makes his home in Florida. M young English preacher, Henry Moorhouse, came to Chicago to preach during the winter of 1869- 1870. For the first sermon he used John 3:16 as a text. Philip Bliss was in the audience and was so deeply impressed that he returned the sec ond night. He was surprised to hear Moorhouse again use the same text. Returning the third night he again heard the same text. For six succes sive nights the Englishman preached on that simple text, emphasizing the fact that the plan of salvation is for “ whosoever w ill.” Bliss was inspired by this series of sermons to write the words and music of “Whosoever W ill May Come.” Whosoever W ill M ay Come Words and music by Philip Bliss
