Strong, Righteous Man of Galilee

Strong

right­eous Man of Ga­li­lee

Robed with Thy peace we fol­low Thee:

In tem­ple court

Thy cleans­ing rod;

On Pha­ri­sees

the scorn of God.

Robed with Thy peace we fol­low Thee

Strong

right­eous Man of Ga­li­lee.

Firm

peace­ful Man of Ga­li­lee

Girt with Thy strength we fol­low Thee:

Not to re­venge

but heal and pray

To turn the cheek and trib­ute pay:

Girt with Thy strength we fol­low Thee

Firm

peace­ful Man of Ga­li­lee.

Calm

suf­fer­ing Man of Ga­li­lee

Clad in Thy grace we fol­low Thee:

Love at the well

share Mar­tha’s loss

Forgive the nails

and take the cross.

Clad in Thy grace we fol­low Thee

Calm

suf­fer­ing Man of Ga­li­lee.

God’s peace­ful Man of Ga­li­lee

Love’s tri­umph

we shall fol­low Thee:

To crum­ble ev­ery boun­da­ry wall

Build high­ways to the hearts of all.

Love’s tri­umph

we shall fol­low Thee

God’s peace­ful Man of Ga­li­lee.
