The King's Business

The King's Business

By E. T. Cassel

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 my King.

******************************

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.

******************************

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.

******************************

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."
