Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #754 (2010) 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 sweet voice soundeth,
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,
that we love him more than these.
5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Saviour, make us hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Andrew Scripture: Mark 1:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANDREW
