Hymn 469 THE STRANGER OF GALILEE Lyrics

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 how 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.

Chorus:
And I felt I could love Him forever.
So gracious and tender was He
I Claimed Him that day as my Saviour,
This Stranger of Galilee.

2. His look of compassion, His words of love,
They shall never forgotten be,
When sin sick 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 of 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.
