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, You 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. |
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, | Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, Coming for you and for me. Refrain 4. |
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. Refrain |
