Full Lyrics
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.
CHORUS
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
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
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, death beds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
VERSE 4
Oh, for the wonderful love He has promis'd,
Promis'd for you and for me;
Tho' we have sinned He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.
