Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #154 (1890) First Line: When, like a stranger on our sphere Lyrics: 1 When, like a stranger on our sphere,
The lowly Jesus wandered here,
Where'er he went, affliction fled,
And sickness reared her fainting head.
2 The eye that rolled in irksome night,
Behold his face for God is light;
The opening ear, the loosened tongue,
His precepts heard, his praises sung.
3 With bounding steps the halt and lame,
To hail their great Deliverer came;
O'er the cold grave he bowed his head,
He spake the word, and raised the dead.
4 Despairing madness, dark and wild,
In his inspiring presence smiled;
The storm of horror ceased to roll,
And reason lightened through the soul.
5 Through paths of loving-kindness led,
Where Jesus triumphed we would tread;
To all, with willing hands dispense
The gifts of our benevolence. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ; Christ Character of; Christ Life of; Christ Character of; Christ Life of Languages: English
