  1. Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
  2. .i Cecil Frances Alexander (1818 - 95)
  3. .1
  4. Jesus calls us;
  5. o'er the tumult
  6. of our life's
  7. wild restless sea,
  8. day by day
  9. His voice is sounding,
  10. saying, 'Christian,
  11. follow me'
  12. .2
  13. As of old,
  14. apostles heard it
  15. by the Galilean lake,
  16. turned from home,
  17. and toil, and kindred,
  18. leaving all
  19. for His dear sake.
  20. .3
  21. Jesus calls us
  22. from the worship
  23. of the vain world's
  24. golden store,
  25. from each idol
  26. that would keep us,
  27. saying, 'Christian,
  28. love me more'
  29. .4
  30. In our joys and
  31. in our sorrows,
  32. days of toil
  33. and hours of ease,
  34. still He calls,
  35. in cares and pleasures,
  36. 'Christian, love Me
  37. more than these'
  38. .5
  39. Jesus calls us!
  40. By Thy mercies,
  41. Saviour, may we
  42. hear Thy call,
  43. give our hearts
  44. to Thine obedience,
  45. serve and love
  46. Thee best of all.
  47. ~
