Hymn 31
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
1
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me,
See, on the portals He's waiting and Watching
Watching for you and for me
CHORUS
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
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing
Passing from you and from me?
Shadows are gathering deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
4
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.
