GSoftly and tenderly CJesus is Gcalling,

Calling for A7you and for D7me;

GSee, on the portals He's Cwaiting and Gwatching,

Watching for D7you and for Gme.

Chorus

GCome home, come Chome,

Ye who are Gweary, come D7home;

GEarnestly, tenderly, CJesus is Gcalling,

Calling, O D7sinner, come Ghome!

Verse 2

Why should we Gtarry when CJesus is Gpleading,

Pleading for A7you and for D7me?

Why should we Glinger and Cheed not His Gmercies,

Mercies for D7you and for Gme?

Verse 3

GTime is now fleeting, the Cmoments are Gpassing,

Passing from A7you and from D7me;

GShadows are gathering, Cdeathbeds are Gcoming,

Coming for D7you and for Gme.

Verse 4

Oh, for the Gwonderful Clove He has Gpromised,

Promised for A7you and for D7me!

Though we have Gsinned, He has Cmercy and Gpardon,

Pardon for D7you and for Gme.
