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, sinners, 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

Ye who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, "Oh, sinners, come home"

Come home, come home

Ye who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, "Oh, sinners, come home"

Calling, "Oh, sinners, come home"
