Solo arrangement of Hymn 388 (about Jesus’ impact) from the Christian Science Hymnal. The music for the middle verse is completely new. Pretty and classical.
Lyrics
Title: When Like a Stranger
Lyricist: James Montgomery
Composer: Jeremiah Clark and John William Gordon
When like a stranger on our sphere
The lowly Jesus sojourned here,
Where’er he went affliction fled,
The sick were healed, the hungry fed.
With bounding steps the halt and lame
To hail their great deliverer came;
For him the grave could hold no dread,
He spoke the word and raised the dead.
Through paths of loving-kindness led,
Where Jesus triumphed we would tread;
To all with willing hands dispense
The gifts of our benevolence.
