287 ~ Softly and Tenderly
1
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me; At the heart's portal 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 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?
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.
