Tune: | [Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling] |
Composer: | Will L. Thompson |
1 Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
At the heart's portal He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
Chorus:
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? [Chorus]
3 Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gath'ring, and death's night is coming,
Coming for you and for me. [Chorus]
4 Think of the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me;
Tho' we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me. [Chorus]
