Each Cooing Dove And Sighing Bough

Each cooing dove and sighing bough,

That makes the eve so blessed to me,

Has something far diviner now,

It bears me back to Galilee.

Refrain

O Galilee, sweet Galilee,

Where Jesus loved so much to be,

O Galilee, blue Galilee,

Come sing thy song again to me.

Each flowery glen and mossy dell,

Where happy birds in song agree,

Through sunny morn the praises tell

Of sights and sounds in Galilee.

Refrain

And when I read the thrilling lore

Of Him Who walked upon the sea,

I long, oh, how I long once more

To follow Him in Galilee.
