Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling-

|
| 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! |
| | 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 Jesus is |
| | pleading- |
| | Pleading for you and for me? |
| | Why should we linger and heed not His |
| | mercies- |
| | Mercies for you and for me? |
| 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! |
| 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! |
