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.
