Author: W. L. T. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1282 (1886) First Line: Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Lyrics: 1 Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
At the heart's portal 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? [Chorus]
3 Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gath'ring and death's night is coming,
Coming for you and for me. [Chorus]
4 Think of 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. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Scripture: Isaiah 55:3 Tune Title: CALLING
