Jesus Calls Us; o'er the Tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #696 (2006) 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 clear voice 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 Jesus' 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 your mercy, Savior, may we hear your call, give our hearts to your obedience, serve and love you best of all.

All Who Love and Serve Your City

Come today, our judge, our glory; be its name, "The Lord is there!"

Like a Tiny Seed of Mustard

Author: Patricia Hunt Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #702 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Like a tiny seed of mustard, stored with life, invisibly, grows and grows, each day increasing and becomes a mighty tree; 2 like the leaven in the mixture swells inside while hid from view, living, rising and transforming simple grain to bread anew; 3 like the priceless treasure, hidden in a field which folk pass by; one man finds it, knows its value, sells his all that field to buy; 4 like the merchant, fine pearls seeking, searches, yearning for the best; finds it, clasps it, claims and buys it, selling all that he possessed. 5 Like all these is God's great kingdom, growing from the smallest part; rising, swelling, coming, dwelling, in each new believer's heart.
