Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Matthew 4 v.18-23
********
Jesus by sea of Galilee
Two brothers did He see
Simon Peter and Andrew, they
Were fishers there that day
Jesus said to them, Follow me
And I will make, so be
You fishers of men, they straightway
Left nets, with no delay
They followed Him, then Jesus saw
Two brothers by the shore
James and John sons of Zebedee
Working in ship they be
As they mended their nets Jesus
Did give them a call thus
To follow Him, and they left their
Nets and their father there
And Jesus went about teaching
And preaching and healing
So did His disciples share too
Gospel words, deeds did do
