New Hymns for the Lectionary by Mark Ryman 3rd Sunday of Epiphany, Year A    • TEXT FILE OF HYMN    • MIDI FILE    • HYMN INDEX Leave Your Net TEXT: Mark Ryman (2005) based on Matthew 4:12-23 TUNE: “Monkland,” John Antes (1790) When our Lord heard that his friend Was detained and taken in, He withdrew to Galilee, Settling beside the sea. Fulfilling what prophets see, Zebulun and Naphtali Was where Jesus came to dwell, Dawning Light in Gentile Hell. In the land of death and shade God’s Great Light was now displayed For all of the world to see— Shining still for you and me. One day Jesus shone on shore For two at their netting chore: “Follow me and leave your kin; I'll make you fishers of men!” Leave your net and drop your plough; Put Him first and trust Him now. Take the Savior by the hand; Let Him lead you to His land. The hymn lyrics on these pages are written and copyrighted by Mark Ryman.
