428. Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult

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,
That we love him more than these.

5 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.
