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
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 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.
Verse 4
Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, Savior, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thy obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all.
