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.
REFRAIN
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, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
VERSE 4
Oh! for the wonderful love he has promised,
Promised for you and for me;
Tho' we have sinned he has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.
