I Will sing the
wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me,
How He left His home in glory,
For the cross on Calvary.
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 paths I often tread,
But the Saviour still is with me,
By His hand I'm safely led.
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.
