[Verse 1]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal he's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
[Verse 2]
So 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?
[Chorus]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home
[Verse 3]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal he's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
[Chorus]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
[Outro]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner, come home
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal he's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
[Verse 2]
So 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?
[Chorus]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home
[Verse 3]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal he's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me
[Chorus]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
[Outro]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner, come home
