SOFTLY AND TENDERLY ( Come Home, Come Home ) - song 179 by Bro William Marrion Branham

188 If you desire to walk up to the altar for a word of prayer, while we sing this song:

Come home, come home,

Ye who are weary, come home;

189 If you’re uncertain about your conditions, I invite you to come, pray.

While we pray:

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…come home,

Ye who are weary, come home;

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come home!

Let us hum it now.

Why should we tarry…

[Brother Branham hums—Ed.]

190 One aged lady has come forward for prayer. Would there be somebody else like to walk up and pray awhile tonight?

Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,

Pardon for you and for me.

Come…come home, come…

191 Would you little fellows just move down that way a little bit? Little ladies, come right in. Move down that way a little, son.

…who are weary, come home;

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come home!

Come home, come home,

Ye who are weary, come home;

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come…

192 What if you knew, tomorrow by this time, the nation would be blowed up? We’re living in an awful time. You can’t put hopes in nothing today, outside of Christ. And why would you risk, why would you risk that soul that God has purchased by the Blood of His Own Son? Why wouldn’t you give your life to Him? What could you lose? Everything’s to gain.

193 You say, “Well, I don’t believe in it.”

Well, the Bible said you’re a fool. Why would you…? The rich man didn’t believe that, in the Bible. When sun was going down, he was laughing and gay; when the sun come up, he was in hell. Why would you take a chance like that fellow? Why don’t you come on, give your life to Christ? Let…I’m not warning you. I’m not threatening you. I’m only laying facts to you. Except you’re borned again, you’ll miss it. What good has life been to you? Just like it’s all a bunch of disappointments. Why don’t you come find Something that’s Eternal? Get a hold of Something that’s real.

194 While we sing again, there’s three or four around here. Won’t you come, too, once more?

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come home!

Come…come…(It’s your soul. You may never feel that way about it again.)

Ye who are…-ry come home; (Hey, little boys, would you all come over here, come up here? Uh-huh.)

Earnestly, tend-…(Come here, son…?…)

…-sus is calling, O sinner, (Come right over here, son.) come home!

Come home…(Won’t you make your way up?)…home,

Ye who are weary, come home (Come right here, son. Come here, get in my chair…?…Sit in my chair…?…)

…-derly, Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come…

195 I want to ask you a question: Are you through with Him? Are you going to turn Him away? Are you going to say, like Pilate, “Bring me some water, I’ll wash my hands of this meeting”? You can’t do that. It’s on your hands. Not only is it on your hands, it’s on your heart. It’s on your conscience. You’ll have to live with it the rest of your life. Don’t try to wash it off. You’ll do like Pilate did: commit suicide someday, trying to get it off your hands. Don’t do it. Come, now.

196 One more time. And while we’re calling, let some men come, good Christian brothers, some of you ministers with these men. Some of you sisters that knows how to talk to people, come kneel down. Just pray with them, show them you’re interested in them, while we’re coming now.

Come home…home,

(Brother Neville, if you will, take the service.)

…weary, come home;

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus…

Calling, O sinner, come home!

197 Let us all bow our heads now for prayer…?…Let’s bow our heads now, and pray.

Lord, we bring to You these penitent ones. May Your Spirit, Lord, catch fire in their hearts, giving unto them the deep desire, and more, that they might see Jesus Christ, their Saviour, Who has bled and died for them, to make them new creatures. Grant it, Lord.

198 We know the Scripture has given us the right of way to believe You. Knowing that these who come, You will in no wise cast out. You’ve made a promise. Your promises are true: “He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Eternal Life, and shall never come to condemnation; but has passed from death unto life.”

199 Young and old, give them alike, Lord, of Thy Holy Spirit. Grant it, Lord. We ask it, in Jesus’ Name, and for His sake.

…home, come home,

Ye who are weary…home;

…-ly, tenderly, Jesus is call-…

Calling, O sinner, come home!

Everyone in prayer now, just a moment.

[Brother Branham hums—Ed.]

Let them confess their sin…
