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 children, come home
Why should we tarry when Jesus is waiting
Waiting for you and for me?
O, for the wonderful love and the mercy
Mercy for you and for me
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, o children, come home
