[VERSE 1]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me
See on the portals Heâs waiting and watching, watching for you and for me.
[CHORUS]
Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling O sinner come home
[VERSE 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?
[CHORUS]
Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling O sinner come home
[VERSE 3]
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, passing from you and from me
Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming, coming for you and for me.
[CHORUS]
Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling O sinner come home
[VERSE 4]
Oh! For the wonderful love He has promised, promised for you and for me
Tho we have sinned he has mercy and pardon, pardon for you and for me.
[CHORUS]
Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling O sinner come home
