Jesus Calls Us; O'er the Tumult
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 923 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15 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.

More Love to Thee, O Christ
Author: Elizabeth Payson Prentiss Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4.4 Appears in 817 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15 Lyrics: 1 More love to Thee, O Christ,
More love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make
On bended knee.
This is my earnest plea:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
2 Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek,
Give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
3 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!

The Summons
Lovest thou me? feed my lambs
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 319 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15 First Line: Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord?
Behold my heart and see:
And turn each cursed idol out,
That dares to rival thee.
2 Do not I love thee from my soul?
Then let me nothing love:
Dead be my heart to every joy,
When Jesus cannot move.
3 Is not thy name melodious still
To my attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound
My Savior's voice to hear?
4 [Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock,
I would disdain to feed?
Hast thou a foe, before whose face
I fear thy cause to plead?
5 Would not mine ardent spirit vie
With angels round the throne,
To execute thy sacred will,
And make thy glory known?
6 Would not my heart pour forth its blood
In honor of thy name?
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp th' immortal flame?]
7 Thou know'st I love thee, dearest Lord,
But Oh! I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.

Author: William R. Featherston Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1,079 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15 First Line: My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine Lyrics: 1. My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee, all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
2. I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
3. I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say, when the death dew lies cold on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
4. In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright.
And singing Thy praises, before Thee I'll bow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. Used With Tune: GORDON

Loves thou me?
Author: Newton Appears in 276 hymnals Scripture: John 21:16 First Line: 'Tis a point I long to know Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know,
Oft it causes anxious thought;
Do I love the Lord, or no?
Am I his, or am I not?
2 If I love, why am I thus?
Why this dull and lifeless frame?
Hardly, sure, can they be worse,
Who have never heard his name.
3 [Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task and burden prove;
Every trifle give me pain,
If I knew a savior's love?
4 When I turn my eyes within,
All is dark, and vain, and wild;
Fill'd with unbelief and sin,
Can I deem myself a child?]
5 If I pray, or hear, or read,
Sin is mix'd with all I do;
You who love the Lord indeed,
Tell me is it thus with you?
6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will,
Find my sin a grief and thrall;
Should I grieve at what I feel,
If I did not love at all?
7 [Could I joy his saints to meet,
Choose the ways I once abhor'd;
Find, at times, the promise sweet
If I did not love the Lord?]
8 Lord, decide the doubtful case!
Thou, who art the people's sun;
Since upon thy work of grace,
If it be indeed begun.
9 Let me love thee more and more,
If I love at all, I pray;
If I have not lov'd before,
Help me to begin to-day. Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Love of Christ; Complaint Of hardness of heart; Hard heart lamented; Love Loves thou me; Love Desiring to Love Christ

Pour out thy Spirit from on high
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 209 hymnals Scripture: John 21:15-17 Lyrics: 1 Lord, pour thy Spirit from on high,
and thine assembled servants bless;
graces and gifts to each supply,
and clothe thy priests with righteousness.
2 Within thy temple when they stand,
to teach the truth as taught by thee,
Saviour, like stars in thy right hand,
let all thy church’s pastors be.
3 Wisdom and zeal and faith impart,
firmness with meekness, from above,
to bear thy people in their heart,
and love the souls whom thou dost love.
4 To watch and pray and never faint,
by day and night their guard to keep,
to warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
to feed thy lambs and tend thy sheep.
5 So, when their work is finished here,
may they in hope their charge resign;
when the Chief Shepherd shall appear,
O God, may they and we be thine. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
