Launch Out Into the Deep

1 All night long the fishers sought,
But at morn nothing had caught;
Then they heard the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep.

Chorus:
No use staying near the shore,
Where the billows break and roar;
Listen to the Master speak;
Launch out, launch out into the deep.

2 How these fishers were repaid
When the Saviour they obeyed!
When they heard the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]

3 If of grace you would have more,
Do not linger near the shore,
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]

4 If you would be sanctified,
Holy made, in Calv'ry's tide,
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]

5 Fishers would you be, of men?
Cut loose ev'ry shore line, then;
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]

6 Would you gain that blessed shore,
There to rest forever more?
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]
