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,
You 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?
Refrain
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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
