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.
Refrain
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."
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.
Refrain
My home is brighter far than Sharon's rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy throughout its vast domain;
My sov'reign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
And that's my business for my king.
Refrain

我是一個客旅,寄居在此異地,
家在遙遠彼岸,在金光輝煌地;
今在海外之域,作我王的使者,
我今在此作王的工。
副歌
我要傳這榮耀信息,
為此天使快樂歌唱:
“噢!要與神和好!”
我主我王呼喚:
“來與天上的神和好!”
這是王的命令:全地所有的人,
悔改並要轉離罪惡引誘網羅;
聽從這訊息的,將與祂同作王,
這是我為王的事工。
副歌
我家遠比沙崙玫瑰平原明亮,
永恆歡樂、生命,遍滿廣大國度;
我王命我傳揚世人可住之境,
這是我為王的事工。
