P.M.

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.
