Jesus Calls Us O'er the Tumult

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 924 hymnals Topics: God's Church The Church at Worship: Invitation to Discipleship Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us o'er the tumult of our life's wild restless sea, day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me"; 2 Long ago apostles heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home, and toil, and kindred, leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store; from each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these." 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all. Used With Tune: GALILEE
