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"
