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.      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   You who are weary, come home   Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling   Calling, O sinner, come home.      Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing   Passing from you and from me   Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming   Coming 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.      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   You who are weary, come home   Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling   Calling, O sinner, come home...
