Jesus Calls Us

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 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.
