113 Calling

[V1]

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
At the heart’s portal He’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

[C]
Come home,…… come home,…
(Come home, come home,)
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home.

[V2]
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.

[C]
Come home,…… come home,…
(Come home, come home,)
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home.

[V3]
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gath’ring and death’s night is coming,
Coming for you and for me.

[C]
Come home,…… come home,…
(Come home, come home,)
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home.

[V4]
Think of 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.

[C]
Come home,…… come home,…
(Come home, come home,)
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home.
