Fishers of Men
Right where we are, on the sea of life,
Our Lord calls us from all sin...
And as we leave our nets and follow,
He makes us fishers of men.
Men, bound in the sea of destruction,
Struggle on the gospel line...
Some get away and fall by the side,
The new life never to find;
Others grasp the precious gospel Truth,
And are brought out of death's sea...
Praising the Saviour for life anew,
Their souls now cleansed and made free.
The loving Master's most tender call
Can be clearly heard within...
"My children, leave it all, follow me,
I'll make you Fishers of Men."
Jesus said: "...Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And they straightway left their nets, and followed him."
(Matt.4:19-20)
