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.

 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.

 3  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.

 4  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.

 5  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.
