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, lifes end is coming, Coming from you and from me.
Verse 4
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 0, sinner, come home.
