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,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly,
Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
2 Why should we tarry
When Jeus 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-beds are coming,
Coming for you and for me. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain]
