Tune: | [I will sing the wondrous story] |
Composer: | Peter P. Bilhorn, b. 1861 |
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;
Raised me up and gently led me
Drew me back into his way. [Refrain]
3 Faint was I, and fears possessed me,
Bruised was I from many a fall;
Hope was gone, and shame distressed me:
But his love has pardoned all. [Refrain]
4 Days of darkness still may meet me,
Sorrow's paths I oft may tread;
But his presence still is with me,
By his guiding hand I'm led. [Refrain]
5 He will keep me till the river
Rolls it waters at my feet;
Then he'll bear me safely over,
Made by grace for glory meet. [Refrain]
