sunset at the lake of MURTEN
music: hymn tune FEWSTER

Lyrics:

1.
When Jesus looked o'er Galilee,
So blue and calm and fair,
Upon her bosom, could he see
A cross reflected there?

2.
When sunrise dyed the lovely deeps,
And sparkled in his hair,
O did the light rays seem to say:
A crown of thorns he'll wear?

3.
When in the hush of eventide,
Cool waters touched his feet,
Was it a hymn of Calvary's road
He heard the waves repeat?

4.
But when the winds triumphantly
Swept from the open plain,
The Master surely heard the song:
The Lord shall live again!


Catherine Baird (1895-1984)
