O Galilee
sweet Galilee!
O land where prophets trod;
O land most sacred in our eyes
Where walked the Son of God!
We praise the name that hallowed Thee
Dear Jesus
blessèd name;
As long as tongue shall sound His praise
So long thy deathless fame.
sweet Galilee
Where walked the Son of God.
Thy hills are sacred now;
Whose rocks did lend
on wearied nights
A pillow for His brow
Or from whose crests
where cedars bend
In silent twilight hour
He stood enwrapped in prayerful mood
Awaiting God-sealed power.
We claim thee as our own;
Where first He came
whose mission was
To bind all flesh in one;
O native land
O covenant land
Of earth’s most royal king!
We give thee meed of blessèd praise
While we His glory sing.
