Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling— Calling for you and for me; Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching— Watching for you and for me! |
| Come home! come home! Ye who are weary, come home! Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home! |

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? |

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing— Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming— Coming for you and for me! |

Oh, for 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! |

This is my favorite song. I miss my hometown church and one of the fondest memories I carry with me was the hymns we always sang in church. I was always a member of the choir also. There is great comfort in the familiarity of these hymns I grew up with. I guess I'm old fashioned or set in my ways as they say but the new music just isn't the same. I am so glad I found your site because now I have my very own hymnal through this site. I am so happy to be able to hear these songs, as well as see the words too. Most I remember, but not neccessarily every verse. I'm not sure why exactly but Softly and Tenderly has always been my favorite since I was a little girl. It's the comfort of knowing that He's always there and I have always believed He does call softly and tenderly and is always waiting for us to come home. Thank you so much for sharing your site with me and others. I can't wait to share this with my neighbor. I'm sure she will be excited as well. Thank you again and may God bless you!
