Jesus calls us! o'er the tumult

Cecil Frances (Humphreys) Alexander (1852)

5 Verses Christian Discipleship

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
