Softly and Tenderly is a Christian hymn, composed by Will L. Thompson in 1880 and based on the Bible verse Mark 10:49. Thompson was a member of the Churches of Christ, where several of his hymns and gospel songs continue in use. The hymn is the most widely known of his compositions and has circulated far beyond its origins in the American Restoration Movement. It is among the most prolifically translated gospel songs and is used throughout many denominations of Christianity. It was sung at the funeral of Martin Luther King Junior, as well as being featured in the films Urban Cowboy and Junebug, with countless recordings by artists such as Rosemary Clooney, Amy Grant and Carrie Underwood.
