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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
