Author: Rev. F. H. Rowley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #60 (1904) 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 of 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 '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 it waters at my feet;
Then he'll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet. [Chorus]
