[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
So 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]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner come home

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
[Outro]
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling, oh, sinner, come home
