Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
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
Chorus
Come home come home Ye who are weary come home Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling Calling O sinner come home
