O Judge and Saviour! can it ever be
The ocean of eternity shall roll
Back to my feet the talent I have lost?
'Twere worth an agelong night of doubt and fear
And weary toil in drawing empty nets,
To see Thee stand upon the beach at dawn,
And hear Thy voice, “Let down the net once more!”
And cast, and draw, and find it filled for Thee!
The ocean of eternity shall roll
Back to my feet the talent I have lost?
'Twere worth an agelong night of doubt and fear
And weary toil in drawing empty nets,
To see Thee stand upon the beach at dawn,
And hear Thy voice, “Let down the net once more!”
And cast, and draw, and find it filled for Thee!
