This hymn has a unique tune

 

 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.

 

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.

 

 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.

 

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.

 

 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.

 

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.

 

 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.

 

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.

 

 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.

 

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.
