\'Twas by the Sea of Galilee

Simon and Andrew Christ did see

Casting a net into the sea

Called them fishers of men to be

 

When Jesus spoke of suffering

Retort, rebuke, Peter did bring

Saying, \"Not so  Lord, this shall not

Happen, suffering not your lot\"

 

Yet he had said, \"You are the Christ\"

To Jesus, and this it sufficed

But wanting not his Lord to go

Way of the cross, nor of it know

 

But behind these words, Satan tempts

To avoid the cross, have relents

Not give up life for salvation

Of all people of each nation

 

Lord, give us grace, this we do pray

To take up here our cross daily

To go your way, give strength, that we

Follow you, your servant-life see
