Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult by Simon Biazeck — Lyrics
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."
As, of old, apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for his dear sake.
Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,

About Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult
A stirring hymn tune for SATB choir, Jesus Calls Us! O'er the Tumult is a powerful call to devotion. The text reflects on Jesus' constant invitation to his followers, drawing parallels with the biblical calling of the apostles. It contrasts the allure of the secular world with the spiritual imperative to love and serve Christ above all else. This piece would be particularly fitting for services focused on discipleship, commitment, or mission, encouraging the congregation to heed the call amidst life's distractions. The English text provides clear and direct encouragement for a congregational or choir setting.
