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
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.
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.
Come home. Come Home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner come home.
