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 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.
   • Refrain 1-3:
     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 sin-sick and helpless He saw me there,
   This Stranger of Galilee;
   He showed 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 from 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 4:
     Oh, my friend, won’t you love Him forever?
     So gracious and tender is He!
     Accept Him today as your Savior,
     This Stranger of Galilee.
