287 - Softly and Tenderly
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling
for you and for me;
At
the heart's portals He's waiting
and
watching,
Watching
for you and for me.
Refrain
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
2
Why
should we tary 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
Think
of 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.
