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. Refrain Come home, come home, Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, Refrain Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Refrain O for the wonderful love He has promised, Refrain When the world-renowned lay preacher, Dwight Lyman Moody, lay on
his death bed in his Northfield, Massachusetts, home, Will Thompson
made a special visit to inquire as to his condition. The attending
physician refused to admit him to the sickroom, and Moody heard them
talking just outside the bedroom door. Recognizing Thompson’s voice,
he called for him to come to his bedside. Taking the Ohio
poet-composer by the hand, the dying evangelist said, “Will, I would
rather have written “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling” than
anything I have been able to do in my whole life.” Mark 10:49 - He's Calling You
