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
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling O sinner come home
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
Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling O sinner come home
When I hear Your still small voice
Your kindness stirs me within
Lord I need to hear Your voice
To lead me, and break me once again
Speak my Lord, I want to hear
Your voice is all that I need
Speak my Lord, I will obey
Your voice is life to me
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
