Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling-

Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909)

5 Verses Christian Hymn Spiritual Song

Verse 1

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling- Calling for you and for me; Patiently Jesus is 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, O 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?

Verse 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!

Verse 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!
