Softly and Tenderly

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, O sinner, come home!

Why should we linger 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
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!
