of our life's wild, restless sea;
day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
saying, "Christian, follow Me!"
2 As of old the apostles 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 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,
"Christian, love me more than these!"
5 Jesus calls us! By Thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear Thy call;
give our hearts to Thine obedience,
serve and love Thee best of all. Scripture: Matthew 4:17 Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE
