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

Ye who are weary

Come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, "Oh, sinner, come home"

[Verse 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

[Chorus]

Come home

Come home

Ye who are weary

Come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, "Oh, sinner, come home"

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Come home

Come home

Ye who are weary

Come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, "Oh sinner come home"

[Outro]

Come home

Ye who are weary

Come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, "Oh sinner, come home"
