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.
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 and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling O sinner come home.
Oh for the wonderful love He has promised,
promised for you and for me.
and 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
