 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!
