Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
At the high 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, "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
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"
Thank 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!"
