Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #143 (1920) 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 pleasure,
"That we love Him more than these."
5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies,
Saviour, make us heart Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thine obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all. Topics: Holy Days St. Andrew Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE
