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!

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. 


Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

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, O sinner, come home!
come home!
