Softly And Tenderly Jesus Is Calling

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ~Matt 3:28-30

Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling

By Will L Thompson

  1. 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!

 

  1. 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?

Come home! Come home! Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling— 

Calling, O sinner, come home!

 

  1. 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!

Come home! Come home! Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, O sinner, come home!
