Softly and tenderly

- 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.
- Come home, come home;
- you who are weary, come home!
- Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
- calling, O 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?
- 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.
- Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised,
- promised for you and for me;
- though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon,
- pardon for you and for me
