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

[Verse 2]
Time is now fleeting
Moments are passing
Passing from you and from me
Shadows are gathering
Death beds are coming
Coming 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"
[Outro]
