Author: Francis H. Rowley Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #500 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Refrain First Line: Yes, I'll sing, 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.
[Refrain:]
Yes, I’ll sing, I'll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me;
yes, I'll 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 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. (Refrain)
4 Days of darkness still come o’er me;
sorrow’s path I often tread,
but the Savior still is with me;
by his hand I’m safely led. (Refrain)
