Ye who are weary, come home

"Softly and Tenderly" is an invitational hymn that was written and composed by Will L. Thompson in 1880. This morning I have had the song in my head and on my heart, so I am sharing this as the devotion for today. There is a beautiful message here. I pray the words of this classic gospel song will bless you and move you as you read them.

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

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

Come home, come home

Ye who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling, O sinner come home

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling. Ye who are weary, come home.

Love in Christ,

Tera
