I
Will Sing the Wondrous Story - Francis H. Rowley,
1854-1952
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.
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,
Faint was I 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,
Sorrow’s path I
often 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,
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.
