GALILEE: THE CENTER OF HIS LABORS .

I thought of Jesus by the Sea
Of Galilee , blue Galilee :
His sermon blessed its peaceful shore, —
He stilled its tempest by His power, —
His mightiest deeds He wrought and drew
From fishermen there His chosen few;
Then, as I bowed the knee,
This voice from Galilee I heard,
The Sea is Holy to our laboring Lord!
