Tune: Lancashire
('The day of resurrection')
John 21 v.1-14 parts
********
Jeus appeared to seven
Disciples, fishing then
At sea of Tiberias
There did He speak, Jesus
Said, Have you caught anything?
No, they said, none to bring
Jesus said, Cast net on right
Side of ship, fish to sight
So they did, and fish many
There they did catch, so be
On land there was made ready
Food for to eat freely
Jesus said, bring of the fish you
Have caught, and it was true
Their net was full, not broken
And they did marvel then
Come and eat, He to them said
Christ risen from the dead
They asked Him not, Who are you?
For they knew Him there true
This the third time He did show
Himself to them, for so
Once with Thomas, once without
Now they all sure, no doubt

Another great hymn of a good bible story. Well done Orchi
It's a bit not, misleading, but strange. I've omitted a bit where on the lakeside there is a fire burning and cooking of some fish already, before the great catch of fish in the net!
As they say Orchi less is more.
…waterfront waffles 🧇 lakeside luaus…. seaside soirées 🎣 ….fish ‘n folk 🕊🙏🏻
Thank you A. Waffles - yummy! lol.
Yup! You’re welcome O🙏🏻🕊️
It seems as if back then they ate mostly fish and bread. Some wine sometimes. Simple yet wonderful.
Nicely done!
Thank you JM. I was there - they chucked me out, cos I wanted expensive salmon! lol.
Been reflecting a bit on Jesus' beach breakfast with his disciples. Makes sense given the time we're in...and yet, I find this to be divinely timed, for me at least! Thanks for sharing Orchi! Well done, my friend! 🌹👏
Thank you T. I can't eat cooked breakfasts. Never have done, and not planning to start now! lol.
That would've made an interesting exchange with Jesus. "Thanks, but you can keep it pal." 🤣 Well, fair enough, Orchi. I've never been one for fish. Except Fish-n-chips...but c'mon, battered and fried anything tastes great! LOL! So, that makes two of us, sitting on the sidelines watching folks chow down! 🤣
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
