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.
Chorus:
Come home, come home;
You who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
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?
Time is now fleeting, the moments
are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds
are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
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.
耶稣温柔慈声恳切在呼唤，
祂呼唤你也唤我；
祂正耐心等候在你心门前，
祂等候你也等我。
副歌：
归家，归家；
劳苦困倦的人归家！
耶稣温柔慈声恳切在呼唤，
呼唤众罪人归家！
为何耽延推却主恳请招引？
祂恳请你也请我；
为何忽略不顾主所施怜悯？
祂怜悯你也怜我。
光阴如水飞流，一刻不等人，
将撇弃你也弃我；
暮色沉沉眼看黑色临近，
将笼罩你也罩我。
请看祂应许的奇妙大恩典，
应许给你也给我；
人虽有罪，祂因慈爱肯赦免,
肯赦免你也赦免我。
