Jim Reeves (known also as Gentleman Jim)
(video by ColJimQ)

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portal He's watching and waiting
Waiting for you and for me

Come home come home
Ye who are wary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling oh sinner come home

Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we wait then and heed not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me

Oh 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 wary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling oh sinner come home

Songwriters: Gill, Vincent Grant / Bannister, Brown
