On the Shores of Galilee

Oh! I love to think of Je­sus

When I read the sto­ry o’er

How the Sav­ior

worn and weary

Trod the Ga­li­le­an shore;

How He taught His loved dis­ci­ples

As they walked be­side the sea

In the sun­shine of His pre­sence

On the shores of Ga­li­lee.

Oh! I love to think of Je­sus

As He jour­neyed day by day

Hand in hand with those who loved Him

In that land so far away

And the wa­ters mur­mured soft­ly

As the sun­light kissed the sea

Oh! how sweet to walk with Je­sus

On the shores of Ga­li­lee.

Oh! I love to think of Je­sus

When the twi­light sha­dows fall

And the shin­ing stars of heav­en

Smile in beau­ty over all.

Then I hear a sweet voice say­ing

Come

My child

come un­to Me;

I will ev­er walk be­side you

On the shores of Ga­li­lee.
