 1 

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling —

Calling for you and for me;

Patiently Jesus is 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!

 
 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?

 

Come home! Come home!

Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come home!

 
 3 

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing —

Passing from you and from me;

Shadows are gathering, death-beds 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!

 
 4 

Oh, 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!
