Lyrics

Softly and tenderly jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
Patient and loving he? 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!"

Repeat chorus

Why should we linger when jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we wait, then, and heed not his mercies;
Mercies for you and for me?

Repeat chorus

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

Repeat chorus
