The Deep Sea Fishers

MADGE ELDER

"Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught." Luke 5:4

They were hungry and cold and tired
As they turned their boats to the shore,
And all that their hearts desired
Was the haven of home once more.
Their nets were empty of gain.
Nevertheless, at thy word,
Master and Lord,
They launched to the deep again.
