[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

[Chorus]
Come home, come home
You who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home

[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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
