Verse One:
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
Patient and loving, He's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me.

Chorus:
Come home [come home], come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

Verse Two:
Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we wait then, and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Three:
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.

[Repeat Chorus]

He's calling, O sinner, come home.
