John 21: When Jesus gives the word

When Jesus gives the word,
And doth their labours bless
The prosperous servants of the Lord
Admire their own success:
Appointed and employ'd
By Christ, His hand they own,
And all their fruit ascribe to God,
And praise His name alone.
When God hath touch'd our souls, and brought
Into the apostolic net,
A work miraculous is wrought,
But all is not effected yet:
So long so deeply plunged in sin,
We still are drawn by His command
Till He who did the work begin
Completes, and brings us all to land.
