I Will Sing the Wondrous Story - Francis H. Rowley, 1886.
Francis H. Rowley, 1886.
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.
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.
4. Days of darkness still come o’er me, sorrow’s path I often tread,
But His presence still is with me; by His guiding hand I’m led.
5. 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.
