SOFTLY AND TENDERLY
Will H Thompson

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Victor Young & his Orchestra


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!

Come home, (come home), come home, (come home),
You who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, "Oh 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?

Come home, (come home), come home, (come home),
You who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, "Oh sinner, come home!"
