1 By roads that wound uphill and down,
Beside the lake in Galilee,
From house to house, from town to town,
Our Lord fulfilled His ministry.
2 He healed the sick, He cured the blind,
He sought for those who went astray;
He told the lost that God is kind
And set them on the homeward way.
3 How blest the homes that knew Him then;
And holy yet the paths He trod!
O gracious heart that loved all men!
O patient feet that walked with God!
4 Lord Christ, forevermore the same
In Heaven as in Galilee,
Embolden us to name Thy name,
To make our lives a ministry.
