They Cast Their Nets
Author: William A. Percy, 1885–1942 Hymnal: One and All Rejoice #307 (2020) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 First Line: They cast their nets in Galilee Lyrics: 1 They cast their nets in Galilee,
Just off the hills of brown;
Such happy, simple fisherfolk,
Before the Lord came down,
Before the Lord came down.
2 Contented, peaceful fishermen,
Before they ever knew
The peace of God that filled their hearts
Brimful, and broke them too,
Brimful, and broke them too.
3 Young John, who trimmed the flapping sail,
Homeless in Patmos died.
Peter, who hauled the teeming net,
Head down was crucified,
Head down was crucified.
4 The peace of God, it is no peace,
But strife closed in the sod.
Yet, let us pray for but one thing:
The marv’lous peace of God,
The marv’lous peace of God.
