42. Blessed Christ of Galilee

1 There’s a far off path I should like to find,
Where the Saviour walked of old in Galilee,
In the shifting sand of the golden strand,
By the waters of the ever changing sea.

Chorus:
I should like to walk with Thee,
Blessed Christ of Galilee,
With thy smile of love upon my soul;
I should like to hear Thy voice,
Bid my longing heart rejoice,
While the never ending ages roll.

2 There’s a wayside spring where I long to taste,
Of the fountain where my Saviour drank before,
And a lowly cot in a quiet spot,
Where the Lord of love and labor dwelt of yore. [Chorus]

3 There’s a nearer path where my feet may go,
That is blessed because the poor He loved are there,
And the great delight of the land of light,
Will be brighter for the woes that I may share. [Chorus]

4 Though the hillside fountain of Galilee,
May have sunk away and vanished long ago,
In the fount of life I may quench all strife,
And the golden crown of loving labor know. [Chorus]
