Tune: | THOMPSON |
Composer: | Will L. Thompson |
1 Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
calling for you and for me;
see, on the portals He's 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]
