Couplet 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

Couplet 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

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

Couplet 3

I was bruised
But Jesus healed me
Faint was I from
Many a fall
Hope was lost and
Fear consumed me
But He freed me
From them all

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

Couplet 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

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
