Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
|
Calling for you and for me.
|
Patient and loving He? 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!"
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading,
|
Pleading for you and for me?
|
Why should we wait, then, and heed not His mercies;
|
Mercies for you and for me?
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
O 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.
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
