Softly and Tenderly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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; You who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling Calling, O sinner, come home! [Verse 2] Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming Coming for you and for me [Chorus] Come home, come home; You who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling Calling, O sinner, come home! [Verse 3] O for the wonderful love He has promised Promised for you and for me! And though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon Pardon for you and for me [Chorus] Come home, come home; You who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling Calling, O sinner, come home!
