Author: Francis H. Rowley Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #537 (1991) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain First Line: I will sing the wondrous story Refrain First Line: Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story Lyrics: 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,
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. 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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
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]
