HYMN: Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult | Jesu npe wa l’osan, l’oru

ENGLISH LYRICS: Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult

Follow me and I shall make you fishers of men. Matt.4:19

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, apostles 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.

Amen.
