Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.3 #68 (1892) First Line: Let down your net tonight, Oh brother Refrain First Line: Let down your net tonight, in faith Lyrics: 1 Let down your net tonight, oh brother, Let down with hope and with pray’r; Deep in the waters of sin, oh brother, Souls are yet perishing there. Refrain: Let down your net tonight, in faith, Fishers of men, are ye; Christ is on board, hath spoken the word, Mighty to save is he. 2 Let down your net tonight, oh neighbor; Toil on with love and with tears; Like the disciples, obey the order, Souls shall be saved from their fears. [Refrain] 3 Let down your net tonight, oh christian, Yield not to doubt nor despair; Into deep waters, launch out, oh christian, All in this great work may share. [Refrain] 4 Satan is trailing his net, oh sinner, Artfully trailing for thee; Halt! or its meshes will surely ensnare you, Turn, and forever be free. [Refrain] Topics: Missionary; Work Tune Title: [Let down your net tonight, O brother]
