Text: | I Am a Stranger Here |
Author: | E. T. Cassel |
Tune: | [I am a stranger here, within a foreign land] |
Composer: | Flora H. Cassel |
1 I am a stranger here, within a foreign land;
My home is far away, upon a golden strand;
Ambassador to be of realms beyond the sea,
I'm here on business for my King.
Refrain:
This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing;
"Oh, be ye reconciled"
Thus saith my Lord and King,
"Oh, be ye reconciled to God."
2 This is the King's command, that all men ev'rywhere,
Repent and turn away, from sin's seductive snare;
That all who will obey, with Him shall reign for aye,
And that's my business for my King. [Refrain]
3 My home is brighter far than Sharon's rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy thro'out its vast domain;
My Sov'reign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
And that's my business for my King. [Refrain]
