But at morn nothing had caught;
Then they heard the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep.
Chorus:
No use staying near the shore,
Where the billows break and roar;
Listen to the Master speak;
Launch out, launch out into the deep.
2 How these fishers were repaid
When the Saviour they obeyed!
When they heard the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]
3 If of grace you would have more,
Do not linger near the shore,
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]
4 If you would be sanctified,
Holy made, in Calv'ry's tide,
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]
5 Fishers would you be, of men?
Cut loose ev'ry shore line, then;
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus]
6 Would you gain that blessed shore,
There to rest forever more?
Listen to the Master speak,
Launch out, launch out into the deep. [Chorus] Topics: Devotional; The Saviour; Work Languages: English Tune Title: [All night long the fishers sought]

Johnson Oatman, Jr.
1856 - 1922 Person Name: Johnson Oatman Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "Launch Out Into the Deep" Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides.
He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns.
In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy.
