Softly and Tenderly Lyrics

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 (Oh 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"
