Yes, Lord! ‎#282

282. Softly and Tenderly

1 Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
Patient and loving, 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 linger when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we wait, then, and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me? [Refrain]

3 O for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me;
Tho' we have sinned He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me. [Refrain]
