Lyrics and translation Glenn Kaiser - Softly and Tenderly

Softly and Tenderly

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.

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

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.

Doucement et tendrement

Doucement et tendrement, Jésus t'appelle,
Il t'appelle, mon amour.
Vois, sur les portails, il attend et observe ;
Il te regarde, mon amour.

Reviens, reviens,
Toi qui es las, reviens ;
Avec ferveur, tendresse, Jésus t'appelle ;
Il t'appelle, "Ô pécheur, reviens !"

Ô pour l'amour merveilleux qu'il a promis,
Promis pour toi, mon amour.
Bien que nous ayons péché, il a miséricorde et pardon ;
Pardon pour toi, mon amour.
