Jesus calls us o’er the tumult
Representative text
As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 285.
Verse 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!”
Verse 2
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!”
Verse 3
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!”
Verse 4
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.
