Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Softly and tenderly Jesus is inviting individuals.
Calling for you and for me
He is calling out for both you and me.
See, on the portals, He's waiting and watching
Visualize Him waiting and observing on the entrance.
Watching for you and for me
He is watching for both you and me.
Come home, come home
A plea to come back home is extended.
Ye who are weary come home
Specifically addressing those who are tired, urging them to return home.
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, 'o sinner, come home
A direct call to sinners to come home.
O for the wonderful love He has promised
Expressing admiration for the wonderful love Jesus has promised.
Promised for you and for me (you and me)
The promise is for both you and me.
Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon
Acknowledging sin but emphasizing God's mercy and pardon.
Pardon for you and for me (oh, for me)

Watching for you and for me
Still watching for both you and me.
Come home, come home
