144:In fancy I stood by the shore, one day
| Tunes: | The stranger of Galilee, 870 |
| Meter: | Irregular |
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.
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 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.
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.
After verse 4:
Oh, my friend, won?t you love him forever?
So gracious and tender is he!
Accept him today as your Saviour,
This stranger of Galilee.
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.
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 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.
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.
After verse 4:
Oh, my friend, won?t you love him forever?
So gracious and tender is he!
Accept him today as your Saviour,
This stranger of Galilee.
