Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #62 (2024) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1. You call to us, Lord Jesus,
As once in Galilee
You called to James and Andrew,
"Come now and follow me."
They left their nets and followed,
And did not look behind;
Lord, we like them will follow,
Our life in you to find.
2. You came to preach deliv'rance,
To set the captives free,
To heal the broken-hearted,
To make the sightless see.
Your ministry of mercy
And justice is our task;
Help us like true disciples
To do the work you ask.
3. You summon us to visions
Of what this world can be,
Of hope and peace and freedom
For all humanity.
For justice we will labor
For ev'ry human soul
Till greed and hatred vanish,
And humankind is whole.
4. The path you bid us follow
Is not an easy road,
And doubt or pain or conflict
Will sometimes be our load.
Lord, grant us strength and courage
To walk the way you trod,
Till we behold in glory
The radiant face of God. Topics: Epiphany Scripture: Mark 1:16-18 Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB
