Softly And Tenderly
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
Patient and loving 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, "O sinner, 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 linger when Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we wait, then, and heed not his mercies;
Mercies for you and for me?
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
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"
