I Will Sing The Wondrous Story

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.
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.

I was lost, but Jesus found me,
found the sheep that went astray;
Raised me up and gently lead me
back into the narrow way.
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.

He will keep me till the river
rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He'll bear me safely over,
made by grace for glory meet.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me;
Sing it with His saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea.
