calling for you and for me.
See, on the portals He's waiting and watching,
watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home.
You who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
calling, "O sinner, come home!"

pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
mercies for you and for me? [Refrain]

passing from you and from me.
Shadows are gathering; death's night is coming,
coming for you and for me. [Refrain]
4 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. [Refrain]
