Softly and Tenderly

Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling for you and me

Patiently, Jesus is waiting and watching

Watching for you and me

Come home, come home

You who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, O sinner, come home

Why should we delay when Jesus is pleading

Pleading for you and me

Why should we linger and heed not His mercies

Mercies for you, for me

Come home, come home

You who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, O sinner, come home

Time is now fleeting

The moments are passing

Passing from you and from me

All for the wonderful love He has promised

Promised for you and me

Come home, come home

You who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, O sinner, come home

Calling, O sinner, come home
