Softly and Tenderly
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. Refrain: Come home; come home. You who are weary, come home. Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, "O sinner, come home!" 2 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? [Refrain] 3 Time is now fleeting; the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me. Shadows are gathering; death's night is coming, Coming for you and for me. [Refrain] 4 O 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. [Refrain]
