Lyrics

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
At the heart's portal, He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
Come home (Come home)
Come home (Come home)
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, 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
Come home, come home
Come home (Come home)
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home
Written by: James Hendricks, W. L. Thompson, [traditional]
