Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling calling for you and for me
And the heart's portal he's waiting and watching watching for you and for me
Come home (come home) come home (come home)
Ya 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)
