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
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.
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home.

That was one of the handful of songs the congregation would often sing at the end of the Sunday night service at the church where I grew up. Have a blessed New Year, Karen.
Singing that song along with you:) Love that old hymn! Enjoy your day dear friend, I pray it is a blessed one! HUGS!
I've always loved that song. Beautiful!
Beautiful, precious lyrics.
Another one I remember from church growing up. Nobody ever sings it anymore. Also reminds me of Come Home, it's Suppertime.
One of my favorite old songs. We used to sing it in church but I haven't heard it for years. How beautifully it fits with the verse from Jeremiah. Your blog is so uplifting in a world that seems to be doing its best to bring us all down.
