Blessed stranger

Author: Mrs. E. W. Chapman Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.3 #103 (1892) First Line: In the paths of sin I travelled Refrain First Line: Blessed stranger, now a friend Lyrics: 1 In the paths of sin I travelled, Laden with my woe; Naught of rest or comfort gaining, Naught could peace bestow. Lo! I met a sweet-voiced stranger, Knew not whence he came, Till his nail-scarred hands he offered, Then I knew his name. Refrain: Blessed stranger, now a friend, Dearer far than earth can show; Kindness he will e’er extend, Want or fear I ne’er shall know. 2 All unworthy of his favor, I to him have come; Rest form all my weary labor, I shall find at home. Priceless are his gifts of mercy, Grace and pardon free; Pure and earnest my devotion To his cause shall be. [Refrain] 3 He’s the chief among ten thousand, Altogether mine; Heart and soul I give forever To this Friend divine. Ev’ry day I’m sweetly learning Of his tenderness, Flow’rs are in my pathway springing, As the miles grow less. [Refrain] Topics: Christ; Salvation Tune Title: [In the paths of sin I traveled]
