I will sing the wondrous story

Of the Christ who died for me,

How He left the realms of glory

Paid my debt and made me free.

CHORUS

Yes, I’ll sing (yes, I’ll sing)

The wondrous story(the wondrous story)

Of the Christ (of the Christ)

Who died for me(who died for me);

Sing it with (sing it with)

The saints in glory (the saints in glory)

Gathered by (gathered by)

The crystal sea (the crystal sea).

Faint was I and fears possessed me,

Bruised was I from many a fall;

Hope was gone and shame distressed me,

But His love has pardoned all.

CHORUS

I was lost, but Jesus found me,

Found the sheep that went astray,

Raised me up and gently led me,

Back into the narrow way.

CHORUS

Days of darkness still may meet me,

Sorrow’s paths I oft’ may tread;

But His presence still is with me,

By His guiding hand I’m led.

CHORUS

He will keep me till the river

Rolls its waters at my feet;

Then He’ll bear me safely over;

Songs of praise I shall repeat!

CHORUS
