Let Down the Net

By Dean Alford

“ALL the night and nothing taken”— How shall we let down the net? All our steadfast hopes are shaken, Every scheme with failure met; Though we speak the message clear, Yet the sinner will not hear.
“All the night and nothing taken,” And the hours are speeding by; Is the chosen flock forsaken? Is no Master standing nigh? Naught is found among the band But faint heart and weary hand.
Still, though night may pass in sorrow, And no guiding star appear, Sounds the promise for the morrow From the Master standing near: “Ye shall find,” then hopeful yet, At his word we loose the net.
—Dean Alford.
