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

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

Verse 3
O 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
