54. The Stranger By the Sea

1 The strangers to God,
His grace and His love,
Were gathered by blue Galilee.
To listen with joy
To words from the lips
Of the Stranger who sat by the sea.

Refrain:
They came and they were blest;
He gave the weary rest,
He made the blinded eyes to see;
He fed the hungry soul
And made the wounded whole,
By the waters of blue Galilee.

2 They sat at His feet
And looked in His face,
Content in His presence to be;
For no one before
Had cared for their souls,
Like the Stranger who sat by the sea. [Refrain]

3 Their souls were athirst;
They drank at the Fount
Of waters, life-giving and free;
Their strength was renewed,
Their hope was revived
By the Stranger who sat by the sea. [Refrain]
