Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore

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]
