Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore, in some versions You Have Come to the Seashore (Spanish: Pescador de hombres, "Fisher of Men") is a 1974 Spanish religious song by Cesáreo Gabaráin. It was translated into English by Gertrude C. Suppe, George Lockwood and Raquel Gutiérrez-Achon.[1]

It was Pope John Paul II's favourite song,[2] and the Polish lyrics (titled Barka, "The Barge") were written by a Salesian of Don Bosco Stanisław Szmidt, also in 1974.[2]

In media

The song is used in episode 6 of season 4 of the Netflix Money Heist television series.[3] In the Peruvian series Al fondo hay sitio, the family and neighbors of Diego Montalbán sing this song while his coffin was lowered, preparing to be buried alive.[4]
