I will sing the wondrous story Lyrics

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.

 Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
 Of the Christ who died for me,
 Sing it in the light of glory,
 Sing it through eternity.

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

He will keep me till the rapture,
 Day by day He'll wash my feet,
And will transform all my nature
 That in glory we may meet.

[Alternate Version]

I will sing the wondrous story
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.

 Of the Christ who died for me,
 Sing it in the light of glory,
 Sing it through eternity.

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.

He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He'll bear me safely over,
All my joys in Him complete
He will keep me till the rapture,
 Day by day He'll wash my feet,
And will transform all my nature
 That in glory we may meet.
