Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
Patient and loving He? 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: "O sinner, come home"

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

Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we wait, then, and heed not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me

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

O 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.

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