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– 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 paths I often tread. But the Savior still is with me; By His hand I'm safely led. [Refrain] 4 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]
