I shall meet him, whom absent I loved, I shall see, whom unseen I adored! 3 And then, nevermore shall the fears, The trials, temptations, and woes, Which darken this valley of tears, Intrude on my blissful repose: To Jesus, the crown of my hope, My soul is in haste to be gone; Oh, bear me, ye cherubim, up, And waft me away to his throne!

When, like a stranger on our sphere

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Christ Life and Character 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, Beheld 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, The reason lighted up 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.
