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.

Chorus:
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.

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
