| 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! |
