I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

Verse 1 I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me.
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.

Verse 2 I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.

Verse 3 I was bruised, but Jesus healed me,
Faint was I from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.

Verse 4 Days of darkness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s paths I often tread,
But the Savior still is with me;
By His hand I’m safely led.

Verse 5 He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.

Refrain Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story,
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.
