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,
You who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Softly and tenderly jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
Patient and loving he’s waiting and watching;
Watching for you and for me.
Chorus:
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, jesus is calling;
Calling, "o sinner, come home!"
Repeat chorus
Why should we linger when jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we wait, then, and heed not his mercies;
Mercies for you and for me?
Repeat chorus
O for the wonderful love he has promised,
Promised for you and for me.
Though we have sinned he has mercy and pardon;
Pardon for you and for me.
Repeat chorus
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
Chorus:
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home
O for the wonderful love
He has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned,
He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and me
(Repeat Chorus)
Calling, O sinner, come home
