The Man of Galilee

Author: John R. Clements Hymnal: Favorites Number 1 #89 (1943) First Line: I met a Stranger fair to see Refrain First Line: It was the Man of Galilee Lyrics: 1 I met a Stranger fair to see, As walked I down life’s rugged way; He spoke so sweet, so tenderly, He won me to Himself that day. Refrain: It was the Man of Galilee, Who whispered words of joy to me: Thy many Sins be all forgiven thee, Thy sins be all forgiven thee. 2 And when that Stranger spoke to me, My heart threw off its guilty load; I felt at once that I was free; I left my burdens by the road. [Refrain] 3 I love that Stranger since the hour He talked to me in tender tone; A joy is mine, I feel its pow’r, And Him as Lord I’m glad to own. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I met a Stranger fair to see]
