Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #200 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 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 As of old Saint Andrew 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,
Saviour, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thy obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all. Topics: St. Andrew, Patron of Scotland November 30th; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANDREW
