Softly And Tenderly

A                    D        A
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
                        E
Calling for you and for me
F#madd9                   D          A
See, on the portals, He's waiting and watching,
              E          A
Watching for you and for me.


[Chorus]

      E          A
Come home, come home,
B                       E
Ye who are weary, come home!
A                      D        A
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
             E           A
Calling, O sinner, come home!

[Verse 2]

A                           D           A
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
                           E
Passing from you and from me
F#madd9                D            A
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
            E           A
Coming for you and for me.


[Chorus]

      E          A
Come home, come home,
B                       E
Ye who are weary, come home!
A                      D        A
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
             E           A
Calling, O sinner, come home!
