The gravitational field of a straight global string is derived in the linear approximation to general relativity, and the resulting trajectories of test particles are found. Part of the gravitational effect of global strings is a deficit angle which increases logarithmically with the distance to the string core. In this regard, a global string resembles a gauge string. A new feature, not present for gauge strings, is a repulsive gravitational potential outside the core. The lensing properties of the global string, as well as other classical effects, are studied.
