Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling —
Calling for you and for me;
Patiently Jesus is 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, O sinner, “come home I”
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?
Ye who are weary — come home! "
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling —
Calling, O sinner, “come home I”
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!
Ye who are weary — come home! "
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling —
Calling, O sinner, “come home I”
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!
Ye who are weary — come home! "
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling —
Calling, O sinner, “come home I”
