8.7.8.7.

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,

Christian, love Me more than these.

5

Jesus calls us, by Thy mercies,

Saviour, may we hear Thy call;

Give our hearts to Thine obedience,

Serve and love Thee best of all.
