Old Paths In Portrait

I Will Sing The Wondrous Story

“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. 

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.

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,
Made by grace for glory meet.”

-Francis Rowley American Hymnist 1854-1952
