(Will L. Thompson)

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

Come home come home ye who are weary come home

Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling calling oh sinner come home

[ piano ]

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...
