1. Each cooing dove and sighing bough,
That makes the eve so blest to me,
Has something far diviner now—
It bears me back to Galilee (to Galilee).
Chorus:
O Galilee, (O Galilee,) sweet Galilee, (sweet Galilee,)
Where Jesus loved (Where Jesus loved) so much to be (so much to be);
O Galilee, (O Galilee,) sweet Galilee, (sweet Galilee,)
Come sing again thy song to me.
(Come sing thy song again to me again to me).
2. Each flow’ry glen and mossy dell,
Where happy birds in song agree,
Thru sunny morn the praises tell
Of sights and sounds in Galilee (in Galilee).
3. And when I read the thrilling lore
Of him who walked upon the sea,
I long, oh, how I long once more,
To follow him in Galilee (in Galilee).
