Program Notes:
This song is a beautiful 19th century hymn of invitation, “Come home, ye who are weary…Jesus is earnestly, tenderly calling, O sinner, come home.” Will Lamartine Thompson had much success as a secular songwriter, but later entered the field of sacred music. The great evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, as he was dying said, “Will, I would rather have written ‘Softly and Tenderly’ than anything I have been able to do in my whole life.”
