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

Ye who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, oh sinner, come home

Why should we tarry when

Jesus is pleading

Pleading for you and for me

Why should we linger and

head not His mercies

Mercies for you and for me

Oh! for the wonderful love He

has promised

Promised for you and for me

Tho' we have sinned He has mercy

and pardon

Pardon for you and for me

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
