I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

Words: Francis H. Rowley (1886)
Music: Rowland H. Prichard (1855)
Our Great Redeemer’s Praise (#157)

I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
How He left the realms of glory
For the cross of Calvary

Refrain
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me
Sing it with His saints in glory
Gathered by the crystal sea

I was lost, but Jesus found me
Found the sheep that went astray
Raised me up and gently led me
Back into the narrow way [Refrain]

He will keep me 'til the river
Rolls its waters at my feet
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet [Refrain]
