  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.  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 over me,
      Sorrow's paths I often tread,
      But the Savior still is with me;
      By His hand I'm safely led.

   Refrain

  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.
