Softly and Tenderly

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling for you and for me

See on the portals He's waiting and watching

Watching for you and for me

Come home, come home

You who are weary come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, oh sinners, come home

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading

Pleading for you and for me

Why should we linger and heed not His mercies

Mercies for you and for me

Come home, come home

You who are weary come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, oh sinners, come home

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing

Passing from you and from me

Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming

Coming for you and for me

Come home, come home

You who are weary come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, oh sinners, come home

Thought of the wonderful love He has promised

Promised for you and for me

Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon

Pardon for you and for me

Come home, come home

You who are weary come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, oh sinners, come home
