Lyrics
Chorus
Come home, come home, Ye who are weary come home; Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling 0, sinner, come home.
Verse 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.
Verse 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?
Verse 3
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, lifes end is coming, Coming from you and from me.
Verse 4
O! for 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.
