Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult

		
312
				8.7.8.7.

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	As of old, apostles heard it
	By the Galilean lake,
	Turned from home and toil and kindred,
	Leaving all for His dear sake.

3	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!”

4	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!”

5	Jesus calls us! By Thy mercies,
	Savior may we hear Thy call,
	Give our hearts to Thy obedience,
	Serve and love Thee best of all.
