SOFTLY AND TENDERLY
1. 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.
Refrain
Come home, come
home,
Ye who are weary come
home;
Earnestly,
tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner,
come home!
2. 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?
3. 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!
4. Oh, 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!
