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 will sing the wondrous story of the Christ who died for me, sing it with the saints in glory, gathered by the crystal sea.
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.
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 river rolls its waters at my feet; then he'll bear me safely over, where the loved ones I shall meet.
