Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling-----
Calling for you and for me ;
Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me !

Calling, O sinner, come home I

Pleading for you and for me ?
Why should we linger and heed not
His mercies----
Mercies for you and for me ?

are passing-----
Passing from you and from me ;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are
Coming-----
Coming for you and for me !

Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has
mercy and pardon-----
Pardon for you and for me!
