#608: Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling

Same composer for both the text and music, which in this case means he has the tune name named after him. The writing style is the kind of "tender"/possibly over-the-top sweetness I associate with a lot of 1800s US (white, southern) gospel. The refrain also has a "call and response" part on the "come home, come home"s. It's more of an echo, I guess? It's less of a leader/follower vibe and more of the "evermore" ("evermore"). Maybe I need a tag for this.
