Lyrics and translation Ray Price - Softly and Tenderly

Softly and Tenderly

(Will L. Thompson)

(Softly and tenderly)

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal 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, oh 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 calling)
Calling for you and for me.

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner, come home...

Doucement et tendrement

(Will L. Thompson)

(Doucement et tendrement)

Doucement et tendrement, Jésus t'appelle
Il t'appelle, toi et moi
Vois sur le portail, il attend et observe
Il te regarde, toi et moi.

Reviens, reviens
Toi qui es fatigué, reviens
Avec ferveur, avec tendresse, Jésus t'appelle
Il t'appelle, oh pécheur, reviens.

(Pourquoi tarder alors que Jésus supplie)
Il te supplie, toi et moi
(Pourquoi hésiter et ne pas répondre à son appel)
Il t'appelle, toi et moi.

Reviens, reviens
Toi qui es fatigué, reviens
Avec ferveur, avec tendresse, Jésus t'appelle
Il t'appelle, oh pécheur, reviens...
