I met a stranger yest'-er'en. * I put food in the eating place, drink in the drinking place, music in the listening place, and in the name of the Triune, He blessed myself and my house. My cattle and my loved ones. And the lark sang in His song: Often, often, often goes the Christ in the stranger's guise. Often, often, often goes the Christ in the stranger's guise. * [yesterday evening]   Go Back to CARDS BY YEAR
