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

he who are weary come home

earnestly tenderly

jesus is calling

calling all sinners 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

he who are weary come home

earnestly tenderly

jesus is calling

calling all sinners come home

come home come home

come home come home

he who are weary come home

earnestly tenderly

jesus is calling

calling all sinners come home

calling all sinners come home
