STRANGE LANDS
We
wander in strange lands,
Strange gods around us rise,
But yonder, o’er the seas,
Our Tower of Refuge lies.
High altars rise around,
And thousands boweth there:
“Oh, give us wealth,” they cry,
“And pleasure for our share.”
And Other Sheep unto
Their Bethels take their way;
But Truth shall never light their eyes
Till cometh Zion’s Day.
We wander in strange lands,
Our country far away;
Oh, soon our eyes shall see the land
Of God’s eternal Day.
(James Paton)
