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 Days of darkness still come o'er me,
Sorrow's paths I often tread;
But the Savior still is with me -
By His hand I'm safely led. [Refrain]

4 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]
