Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #238 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Jesus calls us over the tumult Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us over the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea;
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, "Christian, follow Me!"
2 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."
3 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!"
4 Jesus calls us! by Thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thine obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all! Topics: The Christian Life Call to Discipleship; Discipleship; Invitation; Opening Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE
