Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Common Praise #233a (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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 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,
that we love him more than these.
5 Jesus calls us: by thy mercies,
Saviour, make us hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Saints St. Andrew; Epiphany II Year A; Epiphany II Year B; Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 5 Year A; Proper 7 Year B Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANDREW
