Jesus Calls Us; O'er the Tumult
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 935 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:18-20 Lyrics:
1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
of our life's wild, restless sea,
day by day his voice is sounding,
saying, "Christian, follow me."
2 Long ago apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and family,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of work and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
4 Jesus calls us; by your mercies,
Savior, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all.

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days

For us didst fast and pray,
Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins,
And close by Thee to stay.

And didst the victory win,
O give us strength in Thee to fight,
In Thee to conquer sin.
3 And through these days of penitence,
And through Thy Passiontide,
Yea, evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.

Of suffering over-past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!

You were fasting in the wild;
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted and yet undefiled.

And from worldly joys abstain,
Fasting with unceasing prayer,
Strong with you to suffer pain?

Flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
Grant we may not faint nor fail!
4 So shall we have peace divine:
Holier gladness ours shall be;
Round us, too, shall angels shine,
Such as served you faithfully.

Ever constant by your side;
That with you we may appear
At the eternal Eastertide.

beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!

Our mortal form for mortals’ sake!

His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptations sharp He knew,
For us the tempter overthrew.

Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death,
For us gave up His dying breath.
4 For us He rose from death again;
For us He went on high to reign;
For us He sent His Spirit here,
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.

For love so deep, so high, so broad:
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore.

Author: Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, by Whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God Who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions’ might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah’s Name.
4 Then grant , O God, that we may, too
Return in fast and prayer to you.
Our spirits strengthen with Your grace,
And give us joy to see Your face.

The palsied and the lame,
The leper with his tainted life,
The sick with fevered frame.
2 And lo, Thy touch brought life and health,
Gave speech, and strength, and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Owned Thee, the Lord of light.
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as of yore,
In crowded street, by restless couch,
As by Gennesaret's shore.
3 Be Thou our great Deliverer still,
Thou Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless
With Thine almighty breath.
To hands that work and eyes that see,
Give wisdom's heavenly lore,
That whole and sick, and weak and strong,
May praise Thee evermore.

descends on God's Anointed One.

through mazes of adversity.

to live the faith our lips declare;
bless us in our baptismal calling;

transformed by love to be your own. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Baptism; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Jesus baptism Used With Tune: PSALM 118 (RENDEZ A DIEU)

the deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name,
the halting tongue that dares not tell the whole,
O Lord of truth, lift every Christian soul.
4 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given:
low lies the best till lifted up to heaven;
low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain,
till, sent from God, they mount to God again.
5 Then, as the trumpet-call in after years,
'lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears,
still shall those hearts respond with full accord,
'we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!' Topics: Ash Wednesday; Proper 24 Year C; Proper 25 Year C; Lent Used With Tune: WOODLANDS

I waited for the Lord my God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:18-23 Lyrics: 1 I waited for the Lord my God,
and patiently did bear;
at length to me he did incline
my voice and cry to hear.
2 He took me from a fearful pit,
and from the miry clay,
and on a rock he set my feet,
establishing my way.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
our God to magnify:
many shall see it, and shall fear,
and on the Lord rely.

upon the Lord relies;
respecting not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies. Topics: Music and Song; Salvation and Redemption; Trust Used With Tune: BALLERMA Text Sources: The Scottish Psalter, 1929

Where Thou hast set Thy feet
May I place mine;
And move and march wherever Thou hast trod,
Keeping face forward up the hill of God.

Thy voice and will,
That without fault or fear
I may fulfill
Thy purpose with a glad and holy zest,
Like one who would not bring less than his best.

To shield the right,
And wield Thy sword of truth
With all my might,
That, in the warfare I must wage for Thee,
More than a victor I may ever be. ·

And when Thy last call comes serene and clear,
Calm may my answer be, "Lord, I am here."
