W.L. Thompson (660/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

W.L. Thompson 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, 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, death’s night is 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.
