I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

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.

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.

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.

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.

Days of dark­ness still come o’er me

Sorrow’s path I oft­en tread

But the Sav­ior still is with me;

By His hand I’m safe­ly led.

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.
