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?
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, death-beds are coming—
Coming 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!

I love the old Baptist hymns like these. Reminds me of when my mom would take me to big church as a child. Ot reminds me of my mom & all the precious time spent worshipping the Lord. Thanks you for having this online.

Softly, tenderly, and yet desperately is how we as believers should call sinner's home into our Father's house to enjoy being one of His many sons.

When weariness of the spirit and soul set in
That's the appropriate time to return to the feet of the cross to draw strength for the onward journey to eternity.
I am tired and almost fainted when the Holy Spirit whispered this song into my heart.
Come home! come home!
Ye who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
I believe that this hymn isn't for sinners only, it's a strong words of encouragement to a Christian pilgrim who is getting tired and drained as a result of the temptations and tribulations on the way.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Jesus is indeed calling us home. I have been trying to recall this emotional hymn but I find it difficult to remember. But just this morning, when I was in bed sleeping, this song kept ringing in my dream. So I have to wake up and write the words... thank you Jesus for your salvation for us....
