| Text: | Jesus Calls Us, O'er the Tumult |
| Author: | Cecil F. Alexander |
| Tune: | GALILEE |
| Composer: | William H. Jude |
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 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 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!
4 Jesus calls us! by Thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear Thy call;
Give our hearts to Thy obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all!
