Christ who called disciples to him
from their nets beside the sea,
taught and trained the twelve who knew him
by the shores of Galilee,
still he calls us to his service,
saying “Come and follow me.”
Christ whose touch was life and healing,
sight to blind and strength to lame,
deed and word alike revealing
mercy evermore the same,
still he calls us to his service,
strong in faith to bear his Name.
Christ in whom, for our salvation,
God's unchanging love is shown,
risen now in exaltation,
reigning from the Father's throne,
still he calls us to his service,
and to make his gospel known.
Christ whose calling knows no ending,
no reserve and no delays,
by his Spirit's power defending
those who follow in his ways,
we are come to be his servants,
faithful now and all our days.
