And Christ is the same, though ascended on high,
As when by this water He tred;
With the same tender heart, and pitying eye;
As mighty to some, as loveingly nigh-
O ever the same Lamb of God!
Adieu, sweet Sea
Of Galilee;
Thy image remains, and thy Lord, with me!

Its precious reminiscences and sweet pictures will forever remain in the mind, a constantly increasing delight. Farewell O thou most wonderful of lands! in thy paths and palm-shades, amond thy mountains and bules, by thy cities and shores, my heart is still with thee!
O glorious land! of all earth-realms prefered
