Softly And Tenderly

[Intro]

 For Four Measures


[Verse 1]

                            
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.


[Chorus]

                
Come home, come home,
                       
Ye who are weary, come home!
                                
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
                        
Calling, O sinner, come home!


[Instrumental]

( Four Measures)


[Verse 2]

                                      
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.


[Chorus]

                
Come home, come home,
                       
Ye who are weary, come home!
                                
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
                        
Calling, O sinner, come home!

[Bridge]

                                
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.


[Chorus]

               
Come home, come home,
                      
Ye who are weary, come home!
                                
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
                       
Calling, O sinner, come home!
                          
Calling poor sinner, come home
