Softly And Tenderly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals
He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home
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
Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home
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
Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner
Come home
