The Galilean

There lived a man in Ga­li­lee

Who spoke and calmed the trou­bled sea

His fear­ful ones from death to save

Beneath the ang­ry

roll­ing wave.

O trem­bling soul

on tem­pest tossed

Amid life’s ang­ry break­ers lost

In tri­als sore

in good or ill

He speaks to thee His Peace

be still.

There lived a man in Ga­li­lee

Who spoke as with au­tho­ri­ty

Of things on earth

of Heav­en ab­ove

Of God

the Fa­ther

and His love.

He speaks to­day

His word hath pow­er

To save us in each try­ing hour;

A light it is to light our way

Until we reach the per­fect day.

There lived a man in Ga­li­lee

Who caused the grop­ing blind to see

Who healed the sick

and raised the dead

With loaves and fish­es

thou­sands fed.

He lives to­day

He lives to bless

The blind

the hun­gry and dis­tressed;

He is the Bread come down from Heav’n

He is the on­ly Sav­ior giv’n.

There lived a man in Ga­li­lee

Who gave His life for you and me

The cru­el death

the cross He bore

That we might live for­ev­er­more.

He lives

He reigns

He speaks to­day

I am the life

the truth

the way;

Come un­to Me

you shall be blest

Unto your souls I’ll give sweet rest.
