The Convention Hymnal Title of Hymn 38: The King's Business (Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman's Simultaneous Campaign Hymn) by Dr. E. T. Casel

1 I am a stranger here, within a foreign land,
My home is far away, upon a golden strand;
Ambassador to be of realms beyond the sea,
    I'm here on business for the King.
 
  CHORUS
This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing:
    "Oh, be ye reconciled,"
Thus saith my Lord and King,
    "Oh, be ye reconciled to God." [146]
 
2 This is the King's command, that all men everywhere,
Repent and turn away from sin's seductive snare;
That all who will obey, with Him shall reign for aye,
    And that's my business for my King.
 
3 My home is brighter far than Sharon's rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy throughout its vast domain;
My Sovereign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
    And that's my business for my King.
Dr. E. T. Cassel
