Passing along the Sea of Galilee
Jesus beheld Simon and Andrew casting a net in the sea.
And Jesus said, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And they left their nets and obeyed their master. Follow me.
One day Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?”
And Simon said, “You are the Christ,
The son of the living God.”

Peter, I tell you, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.
And he denied what he knew though he’d always been true,
He said that they all were mistaken.
And the rooster crowded, and Peter wept bitterly.
“Have you any fish?” called a man from the shore.
“Cast your net to the right, and you could catch more.”
“It’s the Lord,” I told Peter, and he dove for the shore.
And when we got there, we ate fish and learned more.
By the sea He appeared, arisen, He appeared,
And turned to Simon Peter and said:
