5. Hymn: The Stranger of Galilee

Hymn: The Stranger of Galilee
Author: Lelia Naylor Morris (1862-1929)

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:
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 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.

    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.

3. Hymn: Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus

Hymn: Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus
Author: Robert Lowry (1826-1899)

1. What can wash away my stain?
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    What can make me whole again?
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2. Nothing can for sin atone-
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    Naught of good that I have done-
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

3. This is all my hope and peace-
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
    This is all my righteousness-
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

4. Now by this I‵ll overcome-
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
    Now by this I‵ll reach my home-
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

1. Hymn: He Leadeth Me

Hymn: He Leadeth Me
Author: Joseph H. Gilmore (1834-1918)

1. He leadeth me! O blessed thought!
    O words with heav‵nly comfort fraught!
    Whate‵er I do, where‵er I be,
    Still ‵tis God‵s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me:
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

2. Sometimes ‵mid scenes of deepest gloom,
    Sometimes where Eden‵s bowers bloom,
    By waters still, o‵er troubled sea,
    Still ‵tis His hand that leadeth me.

3. Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
    Nor ever murmur nor repine,
    Content, whatever lot I see,
    Since ‵tis my God that leadeth me.

4. And when my task on earth is done,
    When, by Thy grace, the vict‵ry‵s won,
    E‵en death‵s cold wave I will not flee,
    Since God thro‵ Jordan leadeth me.
