Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 934 hymnals 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 As of old, Saint Andrew 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, "That we love Him more than these." 5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thine obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Andrew; Christ's Call; Lay Helpers; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: GALILEE

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: A. A. Procter Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie. 2 Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 3 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, Oh, do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise. 4 The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 5 Slowly the rays of daylight fade: So fade within our heart The hopes of earthly love and joy, That one by one depart. 6 Slowly the bright stars, one by one, Within the heavens shine: Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, And trust in things divine. 7 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears, and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: 8 Give us a respite from our toil; Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, Oh, give us now repose.
