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 Come home, come home ye who are weary come home Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling Calling oh sinners come home
Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading He's pleading for you and for me Why should we linger and heed not His mercy Mercy for you and for me Thought of the wonderful love He has promised Promised for you and for me Though we have sinn'd He has mercy and pardon Pardon for you and for me Come home, come home ye who are weary come home Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling Calling oh sinners come home
