I will sing the wondrous story

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.
I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His lovibg arms around me,
Drew me back in to His way.

I was bruised, but Jesushealed 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.

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.
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.
