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.
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.
CHORUS
Come home, come home,
ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
