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 sto - - - ry Of the Christ . . . who died for me ; . . . Sing it with . . . the saints in glo - - - ry, Gathered by . . . the crystal sea. . . .
2. I was lost ; but Jesus found me â 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 â 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 Saviour 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.
