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, oh, 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, oh, sinner come home      Oh, for that 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, oh, sinner come home   Calling, oh, sinner come home
