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.
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
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner, come home
Why should we tarry when
Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and
head not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me
Oh! for the wonderful love He
has promised
Promised for you and for me
Tho' we have sinned He has mercy
and pardon
Pardon for you and for me
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
