329. I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

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.

Refrain:
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me;
Yes, I'll 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. (Refrain)

3 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. (Refrain)
