********

Andrew and Simon Peter, two

Of John\'s [Baptist] disciples were true

John saw Jesus and said, Behold

The Lamb of God! it be told

 

They two then did Jesus follow

Jesus turned around, did know

They were there, and said, What seek ye?

In His sight He did them view

 

They said, Rabbi, where do you dwell?

Will you unto you now tell?

Jesus said, Come and see, and they

Did stay at His place that day

 

Andrew unto Jesus he brought

His brother Peter, him sought

Said, We have the Messiah found

The Christ, hear the joyful sound

 

Jesus said to Peter, You shall

Be called Cephas, know it well

A stone, having sure foundation

Preaching unto the nation
