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
Refrain:
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling, O 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?
Repeat Refrain
Time is now fleeting
The moments are passing
Passing from you and from me
Shadows are gathering
Death's night is coming
Coming for you and for me
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
Repeat Refrain 2x
