Softly and Tenderly by Will L. Thompson

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.

CHORUS: Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home, Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling "O sinner 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.

Time now is fleeting the moments are passing, Passing for you and for me; Shadows are gathering, death beds are coming, Mercies for you and for me.

O for the wonderful love He has promised, Promised for you and for me; Though we have sinned there is mercy and pardon, Pardon for you and for me.
