Now we'd like to settle things down just a bit And sing one of favourite sacred songs Tonight I've chosen one that's long been a favourite of mine And I hope it's one of your favourites Softly and Tenderly Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Calling for you and for me See on the portal He's watching and waiting Waitin' for you and for me Come home... Come ho-ome He who are wary Come ho-ome Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, oh sinner Come home Come home... Come ho-ome He who are wary Come ho-o-ome Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, oh sinner Come home...
