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 home
Come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling o sinner come home
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
Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling o sinner come home
Oh for the wonderful
love He has promised
Promised for you and for me
And though we have sinned
He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me
Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling o sinner come home
Calling o sinner come home
