Clark is appropriate for many occasions, including Christmas, Lent, and general use.
No stranger love the world has knownThat God would leave His gleaming throneTo dwell with sinners on the earth,A crying Babe of virgin birth.
No stranger love the world has seenThat God would live a life so meanTo toil and suffer on the land And sow the seeds with His own hand.
No stranger love the world has gainedThat God would bear a body stainedTo shake and tremble, soon to dieAnd save us with a final sigh.
No stranger love the world can hearThat God would send His children dearTo spread the truth in word and deed—Through God's own Love, we now are freed.

Love from a Stranger was a 'thriller' starring Ann Harding and Basil Rathbone, based on an Agatha Christie short story, Philomel Cottage. As well as Britten's score, the film also included excerpts from Grieg's Peer Gynt music, and a contemporary dance band. Not all of the present score was used - No. 3, Brighton, was omitted and cuts were made in nos. 5 and 6. In the latter, a savage cut deleted the references to the music of the other numbers in bars 13-20, including the trombone's scale, which alludes to a scene in which a child practices the piano unseen. Britten was not happy with the way his music was used, and this was to remain his only work for the commercial cinema composed in 1936.
