Softly and Tenderly

(Will L. Thompson)



Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling for you and for me

See on the portal 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 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.



Come home, come home

Ye who are weary come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, oh sinner, come home...
