Softly And Tenderly
Jörgen Elofsson
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, O sinner, come home!
Why should we linger 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?
