Author: | Francis H. Rowley, 1854-1942 |
Tune: | [I will sing the wondrous story] |
Composer: | Peter P. Bilhorn, 1861-1936 |
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 paths I often tread,
But the Saviour still is with me;
By His hand I'm safely led. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
