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

Ye who are weary come home

Earnestly tenderly jesus is calling

Calling oh 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

Ye who are weary come home

Earnestly tenderly jesus is calling

Calling oh sinners 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

Oh 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

Ye who are weary come home

Earnestly tenderly jesus is calling

Calling oh sinners come home

Come home come home

You who are weary come home

Earnestly tenderly jesus is calling

Calling o sinner come home
