Text: | I Will Sing the Wondrous Story |
Author: | Francis H. Rowley |
Tune: | WONDROUS STORY |
Composer: | Peter P. Bilhorn |
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 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. (Refrain)
4 Days of darkness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But the Savior still is with me;
By His hand I’m safely led. (Refrain)
