Voices of Praise ‎#119

119. Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild restless sea,
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Softly, clearly, "Follow Me."

2 Jesus calls us, from the evil
In a world we cannot flee,
From each idol that would keep us,
Softly, clearly--"Follow Me."

3 Still in joy, and still in sadness,
We discern His own decree;
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
Softly, clearly--"Follow Me."

4 As Saint Andrew, heard Thee, Saviour,
By the Lake of Galilee,
May we hear, and help each other
Day by day to follow Thee.

5 Thou dost call us! May we ever
To Thy call attentive be;
Give our hearts to Thine obedience,
Rise, leave all, and follow Thee.

Amen.
