All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in thee I find: raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick and lead the blind.

Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Jesus Calls Us, O'er the Tumult

Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 933 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us, o’er the tumult of our life’s wild, restless sea, day by day his voice is sounding, saying, “Christian, follow me.” 2 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.” 3 Long ago apostles heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and work and family, leaving all for his dear sake. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of work and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, “Christian, love me more than these.” 5 Jesus calls us! By your mercy, Savior, may we hear your call, give our hearts to your obedience, serve and love you best of all.
