Softly And Tenderly Songtext
von Guy Penrod

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
You 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
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home

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

Come home (come home), come home
You who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home
