Author: William Russell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4785 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. O’er the dark wave of Galilee The gloom of twilight gathers fast, And on the waters drearily Descends the fitful evening blast. 2. The weary bird hath left the air And sunk into his sheltered nest; The wandering beast has sought his lair And laid him down to welcome rest. 3. Still near the lake with weary tread Lingers a form of human kind; And on His lone unsheltered head Flows the chill night damp of the wind. 4. Why seeks He not a home of rest? Why seeks He not a pillowed bed? Beasts have their dens, the bird its nest; He hath not where to lay His head. 5. Such was the lot He freely chose To bless, to save the human race; And through His poverty there flows A rich full stream of heavenly grace. Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE (Holborn)

Refrain: Beasts have their lairs, And birds their downy nests, But the Son of God Hath not where to lay His head. 2 The weary bird hath left the air And sunk into his shelter’d nest; The wand’ring beast has sought his lair And laid him down to welcome rest. [Refrain] 3 Still near the lake, with weary tread Lingers a form of human kind, And on His lone unshelter’d head Flows the chill night damp of the wind. [Refrain] 4 Why seeks He not a home of rest? Why seeks He not a pillow’d bed? Beasts have their dens, the bird its nest; He hath not where to lay His head. [Refrain] Tune Title: [O'er the dark wave of Galilee]
