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 the way. [Refrain]

3 Soon He'll come the Lord of Glory,
Come the church His bride to claim,
And complete the wondrous story,
Come, Lord Jesus, come again. [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]
