When the world renowned lay
preacher, Dwight Lyman Moody, lay on
his death bed i n
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 sick room, and Moody heard
them talking just outside the
bedroom door. Recognizing
Thompson’s voice, he called for him
to come to his bedside. Takng 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.”
This
hymn was sung in the Academy Award
winning movie Trip to
Bountiful (1985), and at a
memorial service for American civil
rights leader Martin Luther King, at
the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta,
Georgia, April 8, 1968.
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,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is
calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
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?
Refrain
Time is now
fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are
coming,
Coming for you and for me.
Refrain
O 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.
