Softly and Tenderly (Jesus Is Calling) |
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, O sinner, 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, O sinner, 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, 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, |
You who are weary, come home; |
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, |
Calling, O sinner, come home! |
