Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCCXXXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I Sojourn as a stranger here,
My calling to attend;
My Jesus, be thou ever near!
My guard, my shield and friend.
2 A stranger here in distant land,
Of no friends here I know;
Yet led by thy unerring hand
I shall pass safely through.
3 If thou my Lord, art still with me!
My journey will be blest;
The more I place my trust in thee,
The more I feel at rest.
4 Thou Lord, dost see in ev'ry place,
In ev'ry place thou art!
In ev'ry land they find thy grace,
Who seek thee with their heart.
5 Thy providence point out their way,
Wherein they e'er shall speed;
They find thy hand from day to day,
As they may want or need.
6 Dear Lord, my case to thee is known,
And what is for my good;
Teach me the way of sin to shun:
At home or when abroad. Topics: Journeying Hymns In time of being in a strange place Languages: English
