 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!

 

Come home! Come home!

   Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

   Calling, O sinner, come home!

 

 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?

 

Come home! Come home!

   Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

   Calling, O sinner, come home!

 

 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!

 

Come home! Come home!

   Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

   Calling, O sinner, come home!

 

 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!

 

Come home! Come home!

   Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

   Calling, O sinner, come home!
