I SHALL BE NO STRANGER THERE
1. When the pearly gates are opened
To a sinner Asav’d by grace,
When thro’ everlasting mercy,
I behold my Saviour’s face;
When I enter in the mansions
Of the city bright and fair,
I shall have a royal welcome,
For I’ll be no stranger there.
Chorus:
I shall be… no stranger there,
Jesus will… my place prepare;
He will meet me… He will greet
me,…
I shall be no stranger there.
2. Thro’ time’s ever-changing seasons,
I am pressing t’ward the goal;
is my heart’s sweet native
country,
is the home-land of my soul;
Many lov’d ones, cloth’d with
beauty,
In those wondrous glories share;
When I rise, redeemed, forgiven,
I shall be no stranger there.
3. There my dear Redeemer liveth,
Blessed Lamb upon the throne;
By the crimson marks upon them,
He will surely claim His own
So, whenever sad or lonely,
Look beyond the earthly care;
Weary child of God, remember,
You will be no stranger there.
