RA HYMN

The RA Hymn (“THE KINGS BUSINESS”)

1. I am a stranger here, within a foreign land,
My home is far away, upon a golden strand,
Ambassadors to be of realms beyond the sea,
I’m here on business for my 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.”

2. This is the king’s command that all men everywhere
Repent and turn away from sin’s seductive snare;
That all who will be 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 throught its vast domain;
My sovereign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
And that’s my business for my king.

E.T. CASSEL
