Jesus Calls Us; O'er the Tumult
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 935 hymnals Scripture: John 1:51 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 Long ago apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and family,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 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."
4 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.

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Appears in 1,805 hymnals Scripture: John 1:49-51 Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where-e'er the Sun
Does his successive Journeys run;
His Kingdom stretch from Shore to Shore,
Till Moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 Behold the Islands, with their Kings,
And Europe her best Tribute brings;
From North to South the Princes meet,
To pay their Homage at his Feet.
3 There Persia, glorious to behold,
There India shines in Eastern Gold;
And barb'rous Nations at his Word
Submit, and bow, and own their Lord.
4 For him shall endless Pray'r be made,
And Praises throng to crown his Head;
His Name like sweet Perfume shall rise
With ev'ry Morning Sacrifice.
5 People and Realms of ev'ry Tongue
Dwell on his Love with sweetest Song;
And Infant-Voices shall proclaim
Their early Blessings on his Name.
6 Blessings abound where e'er he reigns,
The Pris'ner leaps to loose his Chains;
The Weary find eternal Rest,
And all the Sons of Want are blest.
7 Where he displays his healing Power,
Death and the Curse are known no more;
In him the Tribes of Adam boast
More Blessings than their Father lost.
8 Let every Creature rise and bring
Peculiar Honours to our King;
Angels descend with Songs again,
And Earth repeat the loud Amen.
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Of faith and humble name.

Where saints and angels throng,
Beside his spouse, before the Son,
He joins the heav'nly song. Topics: The Liturgical Year St. Joseph, Spous of teh Blessed Virgin Mary (March 19) Used With Tune: LAND OF REST

To make the sons of men his own.

Till in the flesh it was reveal'd
And all the prophecies fulfill'd.

My Lord! and let me taste and feel
That pow'rful word, and light divine,
With life and grace in me to shine.
