Softly and Tenderly

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 He 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 He who are weary, come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, "Oh, sinner, come home" Time is now fleeting, while moments are passing Passing from you and from me Shadows are gathering Deathbeds are calling Come home, come home He who are weary, come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, "Oh, sinner, come home" Come home, come home He who are weary, come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, "Oh, sinner, come home" Oh, come home (come, if you're weary) Oh, sinner, come home (oh, if you're tired, come home) Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, "Oh, sinner, come home"
