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, 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
Ye who are wary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, all sinners come home
Calling, all sinners come home
