287- Softly and Tenderly

Gospel: Invitation

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.
