Hymn Text
1 Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me;
Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me.
Refrain:
Come home, come home, Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!
2 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? [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
