1 Jesus calls o’er 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.
