Roll On, Sweet Galilee

Of all the seas of earth most blest

Whose storm-beat shores seek oft­en for sweet rest

It must be thou

blue Ga­li­lee

For in His word

We find He spoke to thee.

Roll on

roll on

O Ga­li­lee

Roll on

roll on in peace;

For once this Sav­ior calmed thy shore

To prove His won­drous pow­er on earth to save.

Upon thy waves once Je­sus came

The wild­est storm

He spoke

His voice did tame

And made the breast a calm re­pose

Today all thro’

This world the sto­ry goes.

Upon thy waves

in­spir­ing waves

Once walked this Christ the lost of earth to save;

Roll on in peace

sweet Ga­li­lee

Where walked this Christ

Who spoke and calmed thy waves.

The Christ who walked up­on thy shores

Now rules and reigns in Heav’n for ev­er­more;

Now as some life­boat rides thy waves

We shout and sing

How much like Christ to save.
