Jubilate ‎#169

169. Like the Man of Galilee

1 The mourners left weeping,
And turned their sorrow into song
When Jesus the Saviour
Had passed their way along.

Refrain:
I want to be like the man of Galilee,
Humble and lowly, a true Friend to man,
And best of all should I ever hear His call,
Gladly will I answer “I’ll do the very best I can.”

2 For His heart was always
Attuned to perfect sympathy,
In other’s dark moments
I pray that mine may be. [Refrain]

3 More like Him! O grant me
This boon that those I meet may see
That daily I’m living
With Christ of Galilee. [Refrain]

4 More like Him! That others
May find in mine at least a trace
Of glory reflected
From my dear Saviour’s face. [Refrain]
