O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou guardian of my soul. 3 O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee, That where Thou art in glory, There shall Thy servant be. And Jesus I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow , My Master and my Friend. 4 O let me feel Thee near me! The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But Jesus, draw Thou nearer And shield my soul from sin. Amen.

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 956 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea; Day by day that voice still calls us, saying, "Christian, follow me." 2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for Jesus' sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the treasures we adore, 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, Jesus calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these." 5 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. Scripture: Mark 1:16-20 Used With Tune: GALILEE
