[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Softly and tenderly
[G]Jesus is [D]calling,
Calling for [E]you and [A]for me;
[D]See, on the portals He's [G]waiting and [D]watching,
Watching for [A]you and [D]for [A]me.
Come home, come [D]home,[A][D]
[E]You who are weary,
[A]come [D]home;
Earnestly, tenderly, [G]Jesus is [D]calling,
Calling, [G]O sinn[D]er, come h[G]ome![D]
Why should we tarry when
[G]Jesus is [D]pleading,
Pleading for [E]you and [A]for me?
[D]Why should we linger and
[G]heed not His [D]mercies,
Mercies for [A]you and [D]for me?
Time is now [A]fleeting,
the moments [D]are [A]pas[D]sing,
Passing from [E]you and from [A]me;
Shadows [D]are gathering,
[G]deathbeds are[D] com[G]ing,[D]
Coming [A]for [D]you[E] and for me.
[A]Oh, [D]for the wonderful love
[G]He has promised,
[D]Promised for you and for me!
Though we [G]have [D]sinned,
He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon [G]for you [D]and for [A]me.[D]
