144. When Jesus Saw the Fishermen

1 When Jesus saw the fishermen
in boats upon the sea,
he called to them, "Come, leave your nets
and follow, follow me."

2 They followed where he healed the sick
and gave the hungry bread.
And others joined them as they went,
wherever Jesus led.

3 And now his friends are everywhere;
the circle once so small
extends around the whole wide world,
for Jesus calls us all.
