Jesus of Galilee – Song 59 – 1982 Sunday Service

A beautiful version of Jesus of Galilee from 1982 (Chapel of the Holy Grail, Camelot).

In fancy I stood by the shore one day
Of the beautiful murm’ring sea
I saw the great crowds as they thronged the way
Of the Master of Galilee.

I saw how the man who was blind from birth
In a moment was made to see
The lame were made whole by the matchless skill
Of the Master of Galilee.

And I felt I could love him forever
So gracious and tender was he
I claimed him that day as my Saviour
Our Jesus of Galilee.

His look of compassion, his words of love
They shall never forgotten be
When sin-sick and helpless he saw me there
This Master of Galilee.

He showed me his hand and his riven side
And he whispered, “It was for thee.”
My burden fell off at the pierced feet
Of the Master of Galilee.

And I felt I could love him forever
So gracious and tender was he
I claimed him that day as my Saviour
Our Jesus of Galilee.

I heard him speak “Peace” to the angry waves
Of that turbulent, raging sea
And lo, at his Word are the waters stilled
This Master of Galilee.

A peaceful, a quiet, and holy calm
Now and ever abides with me
He holdeth my life in his mighty hands
This Master of Galilee.

And I felt I could love him forever
So gracious and tender was he
I claimed him that day as my Saviour
Our Jesus of Galilee.

Come ye who are driven and tempest-tossed
And his blessed salvation see
He’ll quiet life’s storms with his “Peace, be still”
This Master of Galilee.

He bids me to go and the story tell
What he ever to you will be
If only you let him with you abide
This Master of Galilee.

O my friend, won’t you love him forever
So gracious and tender is he
Accept him today as your Saviour
This Jesus of Galilee.
