1 Sunlit sea what mem’ries golden,
Hover round thy tranquil shore;
Through the ages words so olden,
Bring us life forever more!
Refrain:
Blessed shore, where once the Saviour trod,
Son of Man and yet the Son of God;
Hallowed shall Thy vision be,
O blessed sunlit shore of Galilee.
2 Bright thy waves thy billows swelling,
O’er thee bends an azure sky;
As the Saviour, earth is telling,
Tidings sweet from heav’n on high. [Refrain]
3 We recall with joy thy story,
Mem’ries blest about thee twine;
For the King who left His glory,
Is our Saviour Lord divine. [Refrain]
