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"
"Come home"
"Ye who are weary, come home"
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, "O sinner come home"

Why should we tary 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"
"Come home"
"Ye who are weary, come home"
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, "O sinner come home"

O for 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"
"Come home"
"Ye who are weary, come home"
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, "O sinner come home"

Time is now fleeting
The moments are passing
Passing from you and from me
Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming
Coming for you and for me

"Come home, come home"
"Come home"
"Ye who are weary, come home"
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, "O sinner come home"
