verse 1 Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling-- Calling for you and for me; Patiently Jesus is 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 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 Come home! come home! Ye who are weary, come home! Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!
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!
Chorus Come home! come home! Ye who are weary, come home! Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!
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!
Chorus Come home! come home! Ye who are weary, come home! Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!
