lyrics

verse 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,”
He says, “Christian, follow Me;"

verse 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.

chorus
Jesus calls us! Jesus calls us!
He calls us o’er our worries,
He calls us loud and clear,
Jesus calls us.

verse 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,”
saying, “Christian, love Me more.”

verse 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.”

chorus
Jesus calls us! Jesus calls us!
He calls us o’er our sorrows,
says love Him more than life,
Jesus calls us.

verse 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.

chorus
Jesus calls us! Jesus calls us!
He calls us by His mercies,
says love Him most of all,
Jesus calls us.
