563 ~ Softly and Tenderly
1
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
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, and death's night is coming, Coming for you and for me.
4
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.
