THE STRANGER OF GALILEE
1. In fancy I stood
by the shore, one day,
Of the beautiful
murm'ring sea;
I saw the great
crowds as they thronged the way
Of the stranger of
Galilee;
I saw now the man who
was blind from birth,
In a moment was
made to see;
The lame was made
whole by the matchless skill
Of the Stranger of
Galilee.
Refrain
And I felt I could
love Him forever,
So gracious and
tender was He!
I claimed Him that
day as my Savior,
This Stranger of
Galilee.
2. His look of
compassion, His words of love,
They shall never
forgotten be,
When sinsick and
helpless He saw me there,
This Stranger of
Galilee;
He show'd me His
hand and His riven side,
And He whispered
"It was for thee!"
My burden fell off
at the pierced feet
Of the Stranger of
Galilee.
3. I heard Him
speak peace to the angry waves,
Of that turbulent,
raging sea,
And lo! at His word
are the waters stilled,
This Stranger of
Galilee;
A peaceful, a
quiet, and holy calm,
Now and ever abides
with me;
He holdeth my life
in His mighty hands,
This Stranger of
Galilee.
4. Come ye, who are
driven, and tempest-tossed,
And His gracious
salvation see;
He'll quiet life's
storms with His "Peace, be still",
This Stranger of
Galilee;
He bids me to go and
the story tell
What He ever to you
will be,
If only you let Him
with you abide,
This Stranger of
Galilee.
Refrain
Oh, my friend,
won't you love Him forever,
So gracious and
tender was He !
Accept Him today as
your Savior,
This Stranger of
Galilee.
