Softly and Tenderly
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
Patient and lovingly, He’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
O for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me;
Tho’ we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.
Come home, come home,
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
“O sinner, come home!”
