Thronging about him the people pressed,
Down by the shores of the calm, blue sea,
Crowds of the sinful, the sick, distressed,
Seeking for Jesus in Galilee,
Eager to hear the sweet words of God,
Longing for peace, and relief from pain,
Weary the pathways that many trod,
Seeking for Jesus, but not in vain.
He talked to the multitudes by the sea,
He talks with poor sinners like you and me;
He talks with disciples, where'er they be,
Just as he did in Galilee.
Thronging about him still more and more,
Striving to catch every tender tone,
Kingly he stood on the sunlit shore,
Brightly his face with the lovelight shone,
Patiently, sweetly he taught them there,
Preaching God's love to the great and small,
How in his glory each one might share,
Preaching the love that surpasseth all.
He talked to the multitudes by the sea,
He talks with poor sinners like you and me;
He talks with disciples, where'er they be,
Just as he did in Galilee.
Thronging about him the people came,
Eager his gospel of love to hear,
Joyfully praising his holy name,
Crowding the strand from afar and near;
Oh, 'twas a wonderful meeting there,
Down by the seaside so long ago,
Songs of rejoicing thrilled all the air,
They were so happy God's love to know.
He talked to the multitudes by the sea,
He talks with poor sinners like you and me;
He talks with disciples, where'er they be,
Just as he did in Galilee.
