| Text: | I Will Sing the Wondrous Story |
| Author: | Francis H. Rowley |
| Tune: | WONDROUS STORY |
| Composer: | Peter P. Bilhorn |
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]
