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, O sinner, come home!
(F#madd9 Four Measures)
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
Chorus
F#madd9
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!
Calling poor sinner, come home
Come home
