Joe also sent this song by Leo Watt that one correspondent has mentioned as their favourite Leo song.
If you are after sheet music or other Leo Watt material you should contact him through his website.
- Here around this altar Lord, though many we are one.
Here to offer you our lives, the work that we have done.
Chorus
With each day we start again to help your kingdom come.
Give strength and courage to our soul, though many we are one.
2. From a grain of golden wheat that ripens in the sun
Comes to us the bread of life to help us live as one.
3. Young in heart and full of hope we gather here as one.
Christian people here to serve as Christ himself has done.

As usual Joe has made a sensible usable backing:
Mine, on the other hand, may have too much banjo and accordion and a nasty cheap clarinet sound for the melody:
The Leo Watt renaissance continues with people asking big money for his albums on E-bay.
Thank you so much. The last time I heard and sang this hymn was when I was 16 in our folk group. I am 59 now. It brought back so many memories.
I am search for a hymn with the words….. Simon Perter cast down your net, see how many fish you can get. Now I’ll make you a fisher of men, so come follow me.
I don’t know the name or the author. If you happen to know this hymn, can you pleSe send me the details. Warm Regards. Sharon
G’day Sharon
I can’t recall a song with those lyrics. Mary at Godsongs has a knack of finding hymns – you might want to put in a request there.
