| Description |
This is a value packed choral music package containing three separate but related arrangements of the classic and enduring gospel song “Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling.” The first two beautiful arrangements written for two tenor voices singing A Cappella benefit from being clean, clear, and crisp. The third arrangement has an expanded harmony with the addition of a baritone voice giving the music a fuller, richer sound. The sound sample is from this three-voice (TTB) arrangement.
Consider performing the music for funerals and general worship services. Duration is four and a half minutes for each arrangement. Music download contains the full score including all pertinent vocal parts. The PDF download may be printed as a booklet or by page printing.
Lyrics
1. Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me.
Patiently, Jesus is waiting and watching, watching for you and for me.
2. 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?
3. Oh, 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!
Chorus: Come home, come home, you who are weary, come home. Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling, calling a sinner come home! |
