I will sing the wondrous story

I will sing the wondrous story\nOf the Christ who died for me.\nHow He left His home in glory\nFor the cross of Calvary.\nI was lost, but Jesus found me,\nFound the sheep that went astray,\nThrew His loving arms around me,\nDrew me back into His way.\n\nI was bruised, but Jesus healed me;\nFaint was I from many a fall;\nSight was gone, and fears possessed me,\nBut He freed me from them all.\nDays of darkness still come o’er me,\nSorrow’s paths I often tread,\nBut the Savior still is with me;\nBy His hand I’m safely led.\n\nHe will keep me till the river\nRolls its waters at my feet;\nThen He’ll bear me safely over,\nWhere the loved ones I shall meet.\nYes, I’ll sing the wondrous story\nOf the Christ who died for me,\nSing it with the saints in glory,\nGathered by the crystal sea.
