The Sea of Galilee

While reading in Matthew 4, I came across this poem about the Sea of Galilee.

How pleasant to me, thy deep blue wave,
O Sea of Galilee
For the Glorious One who came to save
Hath often stood by thee

Graceful around thee the mountains meet,
Thou calm reposing sea
But ah! Far more, the beautiful feet
Of Jesus walked o'er thee

Tell me, ye mouldering fragments, tell,
Was the Saviour's city here?
Lifted to heaven, has it sunk to hell,
With none to shed a tear?

ANd was it beside this very sea
The new-risen Savious said
Three times to Simon, "Lovest thou me?
My lambs and sheep then feed."

O Savious, gone to God's right hand,
But the same Saviour still,
Graved on thy heart is this lovely strand
ANd every fragrant hill.

Oh! Give me, Lord, by this sacred wave,
Threefold thy love divine,
That I may feed, till I find my grave,
Thy flock-both thine and mine
