Softly And
Tenderly
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!
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Sung By
George
Jones

1847-1909
(The verses below are in
the original , but not in the recording)
Time is now fleeting, the
moments are passing,
Passing from you and from
me.
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are
coming,
Coming 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!
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,
You
who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus
is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come
home!
Have a blessed
day!
