They Cast Their Nets in Galilee

Author: William Alexander Percy Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Discipleship Lyrics: 1 They cast their nets in Galilee Just off the hills of brown; Such happy, simple fisher-folk, Before the Lord came down. 2 Contented, peaceful fishermen, Before they ever knew The peace of God that filled their hearts Brimful, and broke them too. 3 Young John who trimmed the flapping sail, Homeless, in Patmos died. Peter, who hauled the teeming net, Head down was crucified. 4 The peace of God, it is no peace, But strife closed in the sod. Yet, brothers, pray for but one thing-- The marvelous peace of God. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:14 Used With Tune: GEORGETOWN

Chorus: Jesus, Jesus, dearer than all to me, Jesus, Jesus, Thine, only Thine I’ll be; Where Thou dost lead I will follow, Where’er the path may be; Then when life’s journey is ended Thy face in glory I’ll see. 2 Jesus the sweet rose of Sharon, Jesus the lily so fair; Jesus my rock and salvation, Jesus the bright morning star; He is my portion forever, my all in all is He! With Him I cannot be lonely, He fully satisfies me. [Chorus] 3 Jesus was born in a manger, wept in the garden alone; Poured out His life’s blood on Calv’ry, died for our sin to atone; Rose from the grave more than conq’ror, went to His home on high; Soon He is coming in glory, coming in clouds of the sky. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Jesus is my loving Saviour]
