Composer:Isaac Smith

329a. Launch out into the deep

1 Launch out into the deep,
And brave the foaming sea,
Fold not thine arms to slothful sleep
When duty calls to thee.

2 Let down thy net again,
Still hopeful of success:
Though long thy toil has seemed in vain,
The Lord will richly bless.

3 Do not faint-hearted say,
Thine is a dreary lot:
Let life seem gloomy as it may,
His goodness falters not.

4 In Jesus put thy trust,
And thou canst never fail;
His mighty Word supports the just,
And that must e'er prevail.

5 Thrust out, then, from the land,
Let down thy net again;
The work performed at God's command
Can never be in vain.
