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

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

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?

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

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

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

O for the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned
He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me

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