(Will L. Thompson)

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)
Come home ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling oh sinner come home.

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.

Come home, come home
Come home ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling oh, sinner come home.

Hope 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
Come home ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling oh, sinner come home.

Calling oh, sinner come home...
