Memories of Galilee

Author: C. W. Naylor; N. H. Byrum Hymnal: Songs of Grace and Glory #104 (1918) Topics: Meditation First Line: Oft in silent meditation Refrain First Line: Sweet and precious unto me Lyrics: 1 Oft in silent meditation Back to Galilee we go, With our fancy’s brightest vision View the scenes of long ago. Refrain: Sweet and precious unto me Are the thoughts of Galilee; Sweeter still the love I feel, Which to me he doth reveal. 2 In the early morn the Master, By the sunlit Galilee, Taught the eager, waiting people As he now is teaching me. [Refrain] 3 “Peace,” he said, and calm o’er-spreading Hushed the raging wind and sea, So his voice to holy quiet Brought the storm of life for me. [Refrain] 4 Tranquil as the peaceful waters In the twilight’s afterglow, So my heart is safely resting In the grace he doth bestow. [Refrain] 5 As the sea his form reflected, And the wavelets sang his praise, So may I show forth his glory From a glad heart all my days. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Oft in silent meditation]
