Author: Francis H. Rowley Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #122 (1908) Refrain First Line: Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story Lyrics: 1 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.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Topics: Story (The) Languages: English Tune Title: [I will sing the wondrous story]
