Memories Of Galilee

Each cooing dove (each cooing dove)
and sighing bough (and sighing bough),
That makes the eve (that makes the eve)
so blest to me (so blest to me)
Has something far (has something far)
diviner now (diviner now)
It bears me back (it bears me back)
to Galilee (to Galilee).



[CHORUS]
O Galilee, sweet Galilee,
Where Jesus loved so much to be;
O Galilee, blue Galilee,
Come sing again to me.


Each flow’ry glen (each flow’ry glen)
and mossy dwell (and mossy dwell),
Where happy birds (where happy birds)
in song agree (in song agree)
Through sunny morn (through sunny morn)
the praises tell (the praises tell)
Of sights and sounds (of sights and sounds)
in Galilee (in Galilee).


And when I read (and when I read)
the thrilling lore (the thrilling lore),
Of him who walked (of him who walked)
upon the sea (upon the sea),
I long, oh, how (I long, oh, how)
I long once more (I long once more),
To follow him (to follow him)
in Galilee (in Galilee).
