549 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea, day by day his clear 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, “Christian, love me more than these.”

5 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.
