ELW #696 Jesus Calls Us; O'er the Tumult

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild restless sea,
Day by day his clear voice sounding,
Saying, "Christian, follow me."

As of old Saint Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for Jesus sake.

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 your mercy,
Savior, may we hear your call,
Give our hearts to your obedience,
Serve and love you best of all.
