[1]
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;
you who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
[2]
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?
[3]
Oh, what a wonderful love He has promised,
promised for you and for me;
tho' we have mercy and pardon,
pardon for you and for me.
