Christ in Song 58
Memories of Galilee
Words: Robert MorrisMusic: H. R. Palmer
1Each cool ing breeze that sweeps the sea And stirs the Gal i lee,
Wakes in my heart a song of joy, A song of love to thee;
That tells what thou hast done for me, How thou hast set me free,
And filled my soul with per fect rest, Sweet mem o ries of Gal i lee.
RefrainSweet mem o ries of Gal i lee, Sweet mem o ries of Gal i lee,
In Je sus found sweet rest for me, Sweet mem o ries of Gal i lee.
2Each peb ble on the shin ing shore Tells of thy love to me;
And when the lit tle wave lets dance Be neath the olive tree,
They whis per of the bless ed One Who gave his life for me,
And filled my soul with per fect rest, Sweet mem o ries of Gal i lee.
3Each ray of light that gilds the hills Where Je sus lov'd to be,
Each star that shines in east ern skies A bove the Gal i lee,
Re minds me of my Sav iour's love, His ten der care for me,
And fills my soul with per fect rest, Sweet mem o ries of Gal i lee.
