Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult by William Henry Monk — 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 Saint Andrew 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
William Henry Monk composed this setting of Cecil Frances Alexander's well-known hymn Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult. This SATB arrangement captures the hymn's message of Christ's persistent call to discipleship, urging believers to forsake worldly distractions and idols. The text emphasizes that Jesus calls us through all aspects of life, whether in joy or sorrow, through ease or toil, and it prays for hearts dedicated to his service and obedience. Its familiar English words and sacred theme make it a staple in many church traditions. The music is designed to be sung by a mixed-voice choir, making the message accessible and uplifting.
