[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]
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, oh sinner, come home

[Verse 3]
Why should we tarry when
Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and
Head not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me
[Verse 4]
Oh! for the wonderful love He
Has promised
Promised for you and for me
Tho' we have sinned He has mercy
And pardon
Pardon for you and for me

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

[Outro]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
