(Will L. Thompson)



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)

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

Come home ye who are weary come home

Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling

Calling oh, sinner come home.

Hope of the wonderful love he has promised

Promised for you and for me

Though we have sinn'd he has mercy and pardon

Pardon for you and for me.



Come home, 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...
