Light and Life ‎#74

74. Galilee

1 Each cooing dove and sighing bough,
That makes the eve so blest to me,
Has something far diviner now;
It bears me back to Galilee.

Chorus:
O Galilee, Sweet Galilee,
Where Jesus loved so much to be,
O Galilee, Blue Galilee,
Come, sing thy song again to me.

2 Each flow'ry glen and mossy dell,
Where happy birds in song agree,
Thro' sunny morn the praises tell,
Of sights and sounds in Galilee. [Chorus]

3 And when I read the thrilling love
Of Him who walked upon the sea,
I long, oh, how I long once more
To follow Him in Galilee. [Chorus]
