Chorus

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

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; Death-beds are coming, Coming for you and for me.

Verse 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.

Background: Softly And Tenderly
