I Will Sing the Wondrous Story of the Christ Who Died for Me

I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me
How He left His home in glory
For the Cross on Calvary.

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.


I was bruised, but Jesus healed me,
I was faint from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But he freed me from them all.


Days of darkness still come o'er me,
Paths of sorrows still I tread,
But the Savior still is with me,
By His hand I'm safely led.


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.
