Jesus Calls Us, o'er the Tumult

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 936 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
