'Jesus calls us o'er the tumult' (hymn) written by Cecil Frances Alexander

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."


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."


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."


Jesus calls us! by His mercies,

May we hear our Saviour's call;

Give our hearts to His obedience,

Serve and love Him best of all.
